President Biden’s recent interview with TIME about foreign policy stirred up controversy among conservative critics. In the interview, Biden discussed the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which drew criticism from those who support Israel’s actions.
Biden’s comments on Israel’s handling of the conflict were accused of being hypocritical and disrespectful towards Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He mentioned that Hamas was responsible for initiating the current war, but critics argue that he failed to fully support Israel’s defense against the terrorist group.

Additionally, Biden’s response to whether Israel was committing war crimes in Gaza was deemed insufficient by some. He stated it was “uncertain,” despite conclusions from various sources that Israel was not violating international law.
Biden’s suggestions for a ceasefire were also scrutinized, with some claiming that his stance would only serve to benefit Hamas and potentially prolong the conflict. Furthermore, his emphasis on a “two-state solution” and the involvement of Arab states was met with skepticism from those who support Israel’s interests.
Overall, conservative critics have voiced their disapproval of President Biden’s approach to the Israel-Hamas conflict, alleging that his actions could hinder Israel’s efforts to combat terrorism.
