The Israel-Hamas War
On Oct. 7, 2023, the Palestinian Nationalist Group, Hamas, launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing over a thousand Israelis. The Biden Administration quickly authorized billions of dollars in monetary support for Israel along with providing weapons and ammunition.
This drew widespread criticism as Israel was accused of committing atrocities in Gaza and members of both parties supported a ceasefire agreement that included the release of hostages and prisoners. In the final days of his term, Biden oversaw the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. (Photo: The Washington Post, Editorial Use)
