The Gaza War and U.S. Middle East Policy: Appraising the Biden Administration
The latest crisis in the Middle East following Hamas’s October 7th assault on Israeli communities bordering Gaza quickly became a test for the Biden administration’s crisis management capacity. It has since evolved into a challenge to the administration’s broader policy toward the Middle East, which aimed for a transformation of the region fueled by normalization of relation between Israel and Saudi Arabia. This ambitious project for a new Middle East has now been jeopardized by a lingering problem of the old Middle East, the Israel-Palestine conflict, which could spiral into a regional war.
