A report criticizes and exonerates Israel, leaving Biden politically isolated
The State Department’s report on the Gaza war — which suggests Israel likely violated international law while remaining eligible for U.S. military aid — has left President Biden increasingly isolated on an issue that has burdened his presidency and complicated his re-election bid.
Like much of Biden’s sometimes hesitant approach to the war, the report released Friday to Congress drew criticism from across the political spectrum. Progressives described the report as lacking moral clarity on a humanitarian catastrophe, while pro-Israel groups called it the latest example of the president undermining a key ally in the middle of war.
