President Joe Biden addressed the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in his recent State of the Union speech, highlighting the significant impact it has had on his administration in recent months. Biden, a staunch supporter of Israel, has faced a challenging balancing act in managing the conflict since it began in early October.
The escalating death toll in Gaza, along with mounting pressure domestically, has intensified the urgency for a resolution. The White House has faced criticism and calls for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, as the conflict has strained Biden's support among key demographics such as Arab Americans, young voters, and progressives.
Efforts are underway to negotiate a potential deal for the release of hostages held by Hamas in exchange for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza. The United States is actively involved in these negotiations, aiming to bring an end to the conflict that has garnered international attention.
Officials and allies of President Biden are hopeful that the war will be resolved before November, with Thursday's speech potentially serving as a turning point in the deadly conflict. The administration is working towards a peaceful resolution that will benefit all parties involved and bring stability to the region.
