Working alongside Britain, France and Jordan to help Israel defend itself, the Biden administration limited damage from Iran’s attack and prevented a wider war.
An antimissile system operates after Iran launched drones and missiles toward Israel, as seen from Ashkelon, Israel, on Sunday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has become notorious for ignoring President Biden’s advice on dealing with the Palestinians. Israel was so slow to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, the United States felt compelled to deliver its own assistancethe Palestinian Authority to govern Gaza after Hamas is gone.
So much for Biden’s hopes — which echo those of his two predecessors — to pivot from the Middle East toward great-power competition with Russia and China. The region remains too important and too volatile to ignore. But the events of the past week show that with patient, steady, determined leadership, Washington can still help guide the region away from war.
