Quick takeaways

  • President Biden's objectives in his trip to Israel include showing support to the Israeli people and advocating for a stable humanitarian corridor for displaced Palestinians in Gaza.
  • The cancellation of meetings with leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority hampers US involvement in the Palestinian issue and strains relationships with Arab partners, while growing condemnation of the war may limit Israel's military offensive and increase the risk for President Biden.
