Le Monde: Biden, to the very last, follows Netanyahu
President Joe Biden's unwavering support for Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza has been a defining aspect of his presidency. His long-standing commitment to Zionism has led him to prioritize loyalty to Israel over political considerations, even as tensions with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu persist.
The conflict escalated after Hamas's attacks on October 7, 2023, prompting a significant military response from Israel. Despite Biden's warnings against crossing humanitarian "red lines," Israeli actions, particularly the assault on Rafah, have raised concerns about civilian safety and adherence to agreements.
