During the past week and half, terrorists were viciously attacking one of America’s greatest allies. Israelis were sheltering from a barrage of rockets fired by Hamas, a known terrorist organization. Hamas fired more than 4,000 rockets over the course of its attack, targeting apartment buildings, schools, and any other area where it might inflict civilian casualties. No other country besides Israel is expected to tolerate this kind of devastating violence from known terrorist groups. The Republican Party unreservedly stands with Israel. President Joe Biden’s Democrats would be hard-pressed to say the same.
This recent spate of violence shows that Biden’s abdication of leadership has undone former President Donald Trump and Republicans’ historic progress in promoting peace in the Middle East. By securing peace deals between Israel and Bahrain, securing peace deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and moving the American Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, Trump and Republicans cooled tensions in the Middle East while wholeheartedly affirming support for our Israeli allies. It only took Biden four months to undo that relative peace, and Israelis paid the price.
