One month before the election, Netanyahu is predictably preparing a ground invasion of Lebanon while threatening Iran. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has been calling for “restraint” while supporting Israel’s escalatory attacks. After Israel notified the U.S. that a ground invasion of Lebanon was imminent, Biden called for a “ceasefire” again while saying nothing about a policy change. This comes after Israel claims it secured another $8.7 billion in additional funding from the United States. It’s safe to say the Biden administration’s failed Israel policy has come back to bite him at the worst possible time.
