Should the Biden Administration Press Israel to Withdraw from Gaza?

Here’s the Scoop

Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s latest outburst demanding Israel to “get out of Gaza” is just another example of the Biden administration’s misguided approach to Middle East peace. Blinken’s remarks are not only a stark departure from the foundational US-Israel relationship but also a dangerous endorsement of chaos and anarchy in Gaza.

This administration began its diplomatic overtures by calling on Israel to cooperate with Palestinian leaders, only to later demand a halt to Israel’s defensive war against Hamas. This pattern of pressuring Israel while largely ignoring the atrocities committed by Hamas is indicative of a deeply flawed and biased foreign policy.

Blinken’s insistence on a “clear, credible plan to protect civilians” and a post-conflict plan for Gaza ignores the reality of the situation. Hamas operatives have been seen re-entering areas that Israel had previously cleared, showing a complete disregard for the safety and stability of the region. Blinken’s call for Israel to withdraw would inevitably create a power vacuum ripe for chaos and, ironically, a resurgence of Hamas control.

Experts are rightfully skeptical of the Biden administration’s approach. Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, rightly pointed out that only the Israel Defense Force’s patient and well-executed operation has been successful in combating Hamas and freeing hostages.

Despite Blinken’s recent conversation with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant affirming the “ironclad” U.S. commitment to Israel’s security, the Biden administration’s actions and statements tell a different story. Their misguided attempts to bring peace to the region seem to be doing more harm than good. One can only hope that this administration reevaluates its approach before it is too late.
