Washington(CNN)Entering office, President Joe Biden hoped to shift US foreign policy away from the Middle East and toward areas he thought of as more modern-day threats: China, Russia and cyberspace.

But as some of the worst violence in years breaks out between Israelis and Palestinians, the region's long-entrenched battles are dragging Biden back in, forcing a delicate political balance and laying bare the difficulties he and his predecessors have all faced in handling the decades-old conflict.

Speaking Wednesday for the first time since violence started flaring at the start of the week, Biden said he'd spoken at length to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day. He voiced confidence in a swift end to the hostilities.


"My expectation and hope is this will be closing down sooner than later," Biden said at the White House. "Israel has a right to defend itself when you have thousands of rockets flying into your territory."

Biden did not mention the Palestinians in his comments. He has come under pressure this week not only from Republicans, who are urging more robust backing of Israel, but from progressives in his own party, who have grown increasingly critical of Israel and who hope Biden's pledge to put human rights at the forefront of his foreign agenda will extend to Palestinians.

Very presidential

Unfortunately the crisis isn't ending anytime soon, as Arab and Jews in Isreal have began killing each others and vandalizing each others properties, in Isreali mixed cities

State of emergency had already been declared in Lob USA

Biden pulling out US forces out of middle East would spell doom for Kuwait, Isreal, Oman and others that depends on US for cover

Righteousness2:

Remove Israel from your List!
Israel is Backed from Above! Not by man.

Every ethnic group / race created by God is backed by God

So what happened when 5 million Jews got killed during holocaust by Adolf Hitler, or when Romans invaded them

If not for US anti missile and anti rockets defence system in Gaza, Isrealis would have taken 50% more hit
