Hezbollah has intensified rocket attacks into northern Israel, purportedly to support Hamas in its ongoing conflict with Israel, raising the specter of an all-out war as tens of thousands of Israelis remain displaced. In response, Israel has initiated military strikes on Hezbollah targets within Lebanon, while the Biden administration's reaction has been largely criticized for its lack of assertiveness and transparency. The administration's belated statement reaffirmed 'ironclad' support for Israel's security but appeared generic, leading to speculation about the clarity of U.S. foreign policy leadership. Vice President Kamala Harris's separate meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu raised further questions about the chain of command in U.S. foreign relations, especially compared to Trump's more confrontational stance towards Hamas and support for immediate action against them. As tensions escalate, public concern mounts about who is effectively directing U.S. foreign policy amidst the crisis.
