Biden’s arrival in Israel marks a challenging diplomatic mission for the President [1]. Upon landing, Biden greeted Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog with hugs on the tarmac [3]. The purpose of Biden’s visit is to show support for Israel and its fight against Hamas while urging restraint in a potential ground invasion of the Gaza Strip [3]. The trip is politically and physically risky, but Biden aims to demonstrate solidarity with America’s closest ally in the Middle East [3]. The presence of the President in Israel is meant to exhibit solidarity with allies and discourage further escalation of the conflict [1].
