Biden is in a shitty position here. He's already pissed off young voters and Muslims in America. He's got to do the electoral calculations: is losing the Muslim vote more significant than losing the Jewish vote (if he immediately shuts down all military aid without going through this process first)?

So he has to go through this process. And he is making progress. Previously he called for a cease-fire to both sides. Now he is putting the onus on Israel. So this is progress.

I don't envy him having to walk this tightrope.
