"U.S.-Israel Relations: Navigating Contradictions and Support"
The strained U.S.-Israel relations over Gaza are not new, with historical disagreements dating back to 1956 when U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower intervened to end Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip. Currently, President Biden supports Israel in its conflict with Hamas but warns against a military offensive in Rafah. The virtual meeting between top U.S. and Israeli officials did not yield a breakthrough, and there are concerns about the long-term impact on Israel's international legitimacy and American support. The relationship between the two countries has rebounded from past disagreements, but the current situation presents a paradox as Biden proposes military assistance to Israel while criticizing its military operations in Gaza.
