WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden s efforts to persuade Benjamin Netanyahu to halt military strikes against Hamas in Gaza are plunging the two leaders into a difficult early test of the U.S.-Israeli relationship.
The two have had other moments of tension over the years, and their current differences over the war in Gaza create a challenge that Biden was trying mightily to avoid.
During his speech, US President Joe Biden challenged the newly graduates “to be the future” in the changing world.
“The world is changing. We need you even more. It’s time for you to go out and be the future, to make the future,” Biden said in the USCGA’s 140th commencement exercises in New London, Connecticut.
Biden also expressed his gratitude and acknowledged the support of the parents and families for raising “young people of incredible courage and determination.”
“We must continue to model responsible maritime behavior and uphold clear rules of international agreements that will protect and steward this pristine environment and secure it for future generations,” Biden said.
