Israel accepts ceasefire deal with Hamas, responsibility for implementation on Hamas
Long-term deals between Israel and Saudi Arabia for Israel's security
President Joe Biden navigating Israel-Hamas conflict
Pressure to keep Hezbollah away from Israel's border
Reelection campaign trail adding complexity
President Joe Biden is facing intense criticism from all sides as he navigates the Israel-Hamas conflict, with parts of Gaza currently experiencing a 'full-blown famine' adding to the complexity of the situation.
Biden is under pressure to ensure Israel achieves its security aims in the ongoing war in Gaza while also managing domestic criticism from both Republicans and Democrats. The reelection campaign trail adds another layer of complexity, with polls showing that some voters trust former President Donald Trump more to handle such a situation.
Guy Ziv, the associate director of American University's Center for Israel Studies, commented on Biden's precarious position: 'I think he's in a very precarious position.'
Biden is also trying to make long-term deals between Israel and Saudi Arabia for Israel's sustained security. However, recent developments have seen contradictory moves from the administration, which may undercut its efforts.
Israel has accepted a deal for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. The agreement is being defined as 'very generous' on Israel's part by Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, with responsibility for implementation placed on Hamas. If Hamas rejects the agreement, Biden would not stop Israeli military action in Rafah, and Qatar may consider expelling Hamas' political leadership from its territory.
Biden is also under pressure to renew efforts to keep Hezbollah away from Israel's border and promote normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
