The 81-year-old chief has publicly expressed “ironclad” assist to Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu administration, however a number of studies within the US media say he’s trying to de-escalate. With elections approaching, Biden is additional cautious and conscious that his dealing with of the West Asia state of affairs is being carefully watched.

The assault on an Iranian embassy in Syria’s Damascus, allegedly by Israel, and Tehran’s drone strike response, has sophisticated the US’s state of affairs additional. Whereas Netanyahu has vowed a becoming response, a high-ranking US official has informed information company AFP that Biden has informed the Israel Prime Minister that Washington will not present army backing for any retaliatory motion. “We might not be part of any response they do. We might not envision ourselves taking part in such an act,” he stated.
