President Biden’s Visit to Israel: Exploring the Questions and Concerns Surrounding Iran
With the latest developments in the ongoing conflict, all eyes are on President Biden and his planned visit to Israel. However, amidst the debate on whether he should go, a more significant question arises: What is Biden’s plan regarding Iran? Does he have one?
The situation in Gaza and Lebanon, where the mad mullahs hold sway, demands a response from Biden that demonstrates his understanding of the game and his intent to put a stop to it. One crucial step he could take is to immediately re-freeze the $6 billion sweetener included in a recent prisoner swap. This move would undoubtedly grab Iran’s attention more effectively than any words or actions he could offer.
While there are valid reasons for Biden’s visit to Israel, there are also compelling reasons why it may not be the best time. Chief among them is the ongoing rocket fire from Hamas in Gaza, which puts the President’s safety at risk. Recent events, such as the explosion at a Gaza hospital and the ensuing blame game between Arabs and Israelis, further complicate matters. With a significant number of casualties, it is prudent for the President to avoid potentially stumbling into harm’s way.
It’s crucial to consider what Biden’s visit could achieve in comparison to a secure Zoom call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Apart from a mere photo opportunity that might boost his popularity at home, the advantages seem limited. Already, Biden’s diplomacy has endured setbacks, as evidenced by the cancellation of the Jordan portion of his visit and the subsequent withdrawal of key leaders. Moreover, the meeting with Mahmoud Abbas has raised questions, particularly regarding its remote nature and the exclusion of Israeli participation.
All these factors contribute to the growing suspicion that Biden’s visit serves an ulterior motive – to stall and obstruct Israel from launching its expected ground assault on Gaza. The timing suggests that Biden has been unable to secure Netanyahu’s agreement to hold off, leading him to force the issue by personally appearing on the Prime Minister’s doorstep.
Effectively, the President’s visit freezes Israel’s options, taking away the possibility of a ground attack for the duration of his presence and even a few days after his departure. This self-imposed restraint leaves Israel with limited options, merely resorting to bombings and rocket strikes on buildings. While certain valid reasons may justify delaying the ground assault, such as progress in hostage negotiations or a comprehensive strategy for dealing with Hamas and Iran, without concrete evidence of these factors, it seems that Biden’s visit is only serving to restrict Israel’s actions without providing apparent benefits.
Of particular concern is the administration’s refusal to acknowledge the elephant in the room – Iran’s involvement in the Hamas attack. Despite claims of no “direct evidence,” reliable sources and common sense suggest otherwise. By remaining blind to this fact, Biden’s administration fails to present a coherent plan to counter Iran’s regional aggression and restrain Israel’s response.
Adding to the tension is Iran’s threat of “preemptive action” if Israel enters Gaza, making the prospect of a second front in Lebanon or a direct attack on Israel more plausible. If Biden consistently pulls back and demands restraint from Israel, he risks neutering America and allowing Iran to unleash its proxies against our ally.
This pattern aligns with the approach taken during the Obama-Biden administration, which saw existing sanctions against Iran lifted and an influx of cash through the misbegotten nuclear deal. Rather than deterring Iran’s aggression, they utilized the funds to intensify their regional pursuits and circumvented the nuclear agreement. The Trump administration recognized the problem, withdrew from the flawed deal, reinstated sanctions, and eliminated key figures responsible for Iran’s terrorist activities.
However, the Biden administration’s appeasement approach seeks to undo Trump’s efforts, unwittingly inviting threats from those they attempted to placate. This weakness is further demonstrated by Biden’s mishandling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and subsequent slow response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. The resulting stalemate poses a significant challenge for Israel, as reports suggest that our industries cannot meet the demand for advanced weaponry.
With no apparent strategy or short-term plan to address these challenges, demanding restraint from Israel only increases the likelihood of an escalating and deadly conflict. It is imperative that President Biden recognizes the consequences of his actions and strengthens America’s resolve to counteract aggression in order to bring about peace and stability in the region.
