Jim Jordan Blames Jerusalem Crisis on Biden Projecting 'Weakness From the Oval Office' On 5/12/21 at 11:52 PM EDT Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has blamed the current conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip on the "weakness" of President Joe Biden. Jordan praised former President Donald Trump for maintaining "peace in the Middle East" while insisting that the current president was responsible for the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict during a Wednesday night appearance on Fox News' Hannity. He said that he believes the conflict will be a significant factor in Republicans taking back control of the House during the 2022 midterm elections. "We went from peace in the Middle East to hundreds of rockets fired by terrorists on our best ally—actually, over 1,000 rockets being fired on our best ally Israel," Jordan said. "This is exactly what happens, as you said, when we project weakness from the Oval Office. It is not a good situation."
