It’s official: President Biden’s policy on Israel makes no sense except as a sudden, all-out drive to stop the war completely, leaving Hamas able to recover. The Washington Post reports, citing four sources, that the White House has offered Jerusalem “sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders and find the group’s hidden tunnels” if the IDF doesn’t go full-scale into Rafah.

COMMENTARY John Podhoretz: Why Joe Biden Has Gone from Friend to Enemy It is true that Biden is in trouble with his base. And it is also true that there are young people and Arabs who are disgusted by him and the support he had shown for Israel. But there are plenty of young people—the absolutely overwhelming majority of young people, in fact—for whom the war in Gaza is not even a minor concern. In the Harvard Youth Poll conducted by the Institute of Politics in April, it ranked 15th—fifteenth—on a list of 16 issues people between the ages of 18 and 29 said they cared about.

TIMES OF ISRAEL US House passes bill requiring delivery of bombs to Israel in GOP-led rebuke of Biden 16 Democrats join nearly all Republicans to approve measure, which Schumer has pledged isn’t ‘going anywhere’ in the Senate and the president has vowed to veto. The US House of Representatives delivered a rebuke to President Joe Biden Thursday for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, passing legislation that seeks to force the weapons transfer as Republicans worked to highlight Democratic divisions over the Israel-Hamas war. Seeking to discourage Israel from its offensive against Hamas in the crowded southern Gaza city of Rafah, the Biden administration this month put on hold a weapons shipment of 3,500 bombs.
