The Biden administration finds itself in a complex situation in the Middle East as it navigates the delicate balance between supporting its ally Israel’s military operations in the region while trying to avoid regional escalation. This dilemma has led to significant American involvement in the Mediterranean and arms deliveries to Israel amidst calls for truce and ceasefire.
