Israel-Gaza situation has Biden facing bipartisan criticism

Israel-Gaza situation has Biden facing bipartisan criticism | Ian Bremmer | Quick Take

youtu.be

Ian Bremmer's Quick Take: When the war started, the US was not aligned on Israel policy with all of its allies out there. Increasingly today it is, with the entirety of the G7 and with allies in the Gulf, in the Middle East. And a US policy—like its policy on Ukraine—where the US is leading but is coordinating security policy with everyone, is a much stronger policy than one where the Americans are by themselves. Biden is now in a position where he's increasingly by himself internationally, and he's also increasingly by himself at home.
