Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
On Wednesday night, Joe Biden basked in the pageantry of a state dinner – white-jacketed violinists, golden chandeliers dotted with pink roses, a vivid wall display of 3D paper flowers. But soon after toasting the Australian prime minister in a pavilion on the White House south lawn, the US president had to step away to be briefed on a deadly mass shooting in Maine.
The presence of Lloyd Austin, the defense secretary, and Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, was a reminder of another, even darker shadow. Even as Biden and guests savoured butternut squash soup, sarsaparilla braised short ribs and hazelnut and chocolate mousse cake, Israeli bombs were raining down on the people of Gaza, posing one of the biggest tests yet for the 80-year-old commander-in-chief.
Biden took office in January 2021 articulating four crises – the coronavirus pandemic, economic strife, racial injustice and the climate – but as many of his predecessors discovered, the one guarantee of the job is the unexpected. Since Hamas’s horrific attack on Israel on 7 October, the president has found himself in the crucible of a Middle East war that is killing innocents and threatening a broader conflagration.
Biden has given Israel full-throated support and urged Congress to send the US ally $14bn in military aid. He has stressed that Hamas does not represent the vast majority of the Palestinian people and pushed for humanitarian assistance. But he is resisting calls for a ceasefire.
He is trying to thread a diplomatic needle, knowing that each decision reverberates around the world and one mistake could cost him re-election next year.

“Biden’s unwavering support for Israel”
Is a lie. He’s doing everything he can to delay Israel’s response.
Shove these Guardian hamas ass kissers into to the Gaza tunnels with their friends so we never have to read or hear their insufferable blabberings afain
Not unwavering. Biden/Blinken are trying to have it both ways.
Why do these freaks think Biden has unwavering support for Israel.
He had no legitimate chance to be elected in the first place.
At the same time, the GOP is poised to pick up support from American Jews based on the Biden administration's weak foreign policy and tilt toward Iran as helping provoke the attack on Israel. In addition, the Democrats lose the abortion issue as a motivator for liberal Jews because Israel's existential peril is a far more consequential concern.
More broadly, liberal American Jews are being forced to recognize that people whom they may not especially like -- Christians and conservatives -- are far better friends that their preferred friends in the Democratic Party and in American higher education.
How do you threaten the chance of reelection when they stole the election in the first place and still maintain that capability?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Now that’s Funny HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
unwavering, now thats a lie in it self
The Guardian is a Communazi rag.
WHAT UNWAVERING SUPPORT???
HE mouthes SOME words-—and then does awful things behind our backs.
HE has sent too miuch support to IRAN-—directly & indirectly.
Also Afghanistan.
MILLIONS of dollars in weapons he left behind.
I would not trust Joe to water the dogs at the animal shelter.
Unwavering support?
The entire premise of this article is a lie.
Release funds to terrorist state Iran, relief aid to Hamas, supposedly for Gaza civilians.
I wouldn’t call that unwavering support for Israel.
Biden doesn’t support Israel. He just says he does so his regime can be the ones to determine what Israel does regarding Hamas.
If Israel would have went in tough on Hamas after the attack when the ball was in their court it would have been their call.
But they did not and now they have lost control.
Biden does the very same to the American people that he does to Israel.
Your post describes it.
No, I’m pretty sure the people that pick who wins and who loses support Israel. His support should only help him.
‘Chance’???
Trying to buy back the Jewish votes he is losing to Trump.
Unwavering support? Iran waves he$$o.
He has tried to tie support for Israel to support for the Ukraine. He’s not serious.
