Israel-Gaza conflict and US involvement
Hamas declared victory in Gaza after Israel withdrew its ground forces due to international pressure, including from the Biden administration. Biden's push for aid to Gaza and a Palestinian state led to tensions with Israel. Israel defied Biden by entering Khan Yunis and rescuing hostages in Rafah, leading to strained relations. The US delayed weapons delivery to pressure Israel, prolonging the conflict. Biden's actions have put Israel in a difficult position, with limited options moving forward.
