In an unexpected twist, President Joe Biden found himself in the position of reluctantly celebrating the demise of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who was dispatched by an Israeli airstrike. This statement was made while he continued to promote his favorite hobby: advocating for ceasefire deals in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s almost as if he thinks both mourning the death of a terrorist and wishing for peace can coexist, but anyone with a common sense approach to national security knows that it doesn’t work that way.
Nasrallah’s death didn’t just happen in a vacuum; this was the closing chapter on a four-decade-long saga of horror that his group inflicted on countless innocents. The president characterized it as a form of justice for countless victims, including Americans, Israelis, and Lebanese civilians alike. Yet, one has to wonder: if Nasrallah’s death was indeed a victory for justice, why is the administration still peddling ceasefire proposals at a time when Israel is on the verge of reshaping the landscape of the Middle East? It seems the need for diplomacy often overshadows the need for decisive action.
In his statement, Biden affirmed U.S. support for Israel’s right to defend itself against the likes of Hezbollah, Hamas, and other Iranian-backed groups. However, when push comes to shove, it appears that the Biden administration is more concerned about not ruffling any feathers than actually allowing Israel to do what needs to be done. It’s like being in a boxing match but putting your gloves on the sidelines just because you don’t want to hurt your opponent’s feelings.
The airstrike that eliminated Nasrallah was met with disapproval from the Biden administration—allegedly because they were given the heads-up too late to interfere with Israel’s plans. This begs the question: in what world does a country that is under constant threat from terrorism need to inform its ally about its defensive operations? The position of the Biden administration appears more aligned with protecting terrorists than supporting those who stand firm against them.

Adding to the circus, concerns about Israel’s past dealings with the Obama administration spark skepticism over whether they can trust U.S. intel under Biden’s watch. With national security advisor Maher Bitar’s questionable past as a pro-Palestinian activist, doubts loom over the reliability of intelligence coming out of the White House. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris has taken it upon herself to caution Israel against going after Hamas, as if the lives of innocents were just collateral damage in a political game.
The essence of the Biden administration’s approach seems to rest on a precarious balancing act of diplomacy while dancing around the threat posed by Iranian-backed terror groups. Unfortunately, while Biden advocates for peace, the terrorists are gearing up for war. While this administration claims to work towards stability in the Middle East, perhaps they’re merely humming to the tune of “What could go wrong?” as Israel stands at the edge of a potential victory over decades of terror.
