The Biden administration wants you to know that, despite its many public disagreements with the way Israel has prosecuted its defensive war against Iran and its terrorist proxies, it has been fully supportive of Israel’s counter-terror campaign in private. At least, that’s what it wants you to believe now that the parade of horribles it feared Israel’s vigorous defensive operations would unleash has failed to materialize.
Sure, Politico recently reported, there were internal dissenters against this secret pro-Israeli consensus, U.S. officials “urged caution,” and the White House still believes that “the only way to end the conflict was through a negotiated diplomatic agreement.” But “behind the scenes,” some of the administration’s point-people on the crisis in the region welcomed the decimation of Iran’s terror networks. Those contingencies “could offer an opportunity to reduce Iran’s influence” and “reshape the Middle East for the better for years to come.”
