President Joe Biden is debating when to travel to Israel as it recovers from Hamas’s mass casualty attack on Oct. 7. The New York Times reports two complications standing in the way of an imminent presidential trip. First off, security concerns. Second, the political concern of associating Biden with a bloody Israeli ground operation in the Gaza Strip.

While these factors are obviously relevant, I suspect Biden will go to Israel sooner rather than later.
