OPINION: Biden's Israel policy is a disaster. Why is he undermining Netanyahu now?

Opinion by David N. Bossie--

As the war in the Middle East between the State of Israel and Hamas terrorists enters its second month, the American people are finding out what former Defense Secretary Robert Gates meant when he said that President Joe Biden has "been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades." 

Make no mistake, when it comes to foreign policy Joe Biden is an embarrassing train wreck, so Americans must be prepared for a season of predictable strategic blunders and bad calls coming from his White House.  Biden’s poor standing in the polls heading into the 2024 presidential campaign will only make his decision-making on the world stage more politically driven and thus far worse for the security of America and the world. 

Look no further than the reprehensible and reckless leaks coming from this White House indicating that President Biden and his senior aides "have discussed the likelihood that Benjamin Netanyahu’s political days are numbered," and "the topic of Netanyahu’s short political shelf life has come up in recent White House meetings involving Biden," and "Biden has gone so far as to suggest to Netanyahu that he should think about lessons he would share with his eventual successor…"

Disgusting statements like this designed to weaken Prime Minister Netanyahu’s political standing in his own country at a time of war is irresponsible behavior to say the least.  The Prime Minister would be right to ask with friends like these, who needs enemies?  President Biden and his pathetically weak and rudderless national security team are playing a dangerous game that’s being driven by cheap electoral politics and it’s making the American people wonder who’s side they’re on.
