Biden administration ‘terrified’ of war’s impact on election prospects: Analysis

Rami Khouri, a distinguished public policy fellow at the American University of Beirut, says the Biden administration is concerned that its support for Israel will impact their hopes for re-election in the 2024 US presidential race. “What’s fascinating here is the involvement of a third party, which is the United States. This is [a] war between [the] United States, Israel on the one side and Hamas, and other armed groups, on the other,” Khouri told Al Jazeera. “The US is worried about many things. They are terrified of the Iranian-Israeli exchange of fire, even though they were both controlled. They are terrified of a wider war in the region, with the impact of this on oil flows, investment and global trade. It will be [a] catastrophe. “The US government, led by the Democrats and Biden, are terrified of the impact of this war on the election prospects in November. Polls show 81 percent of young people, 81 percent of all Americans, not just Democrats, between the ages of 18 and 34, think that the war is being badly managed and they disapprove of the way the war is going and American support for it. “This is a huge thing for American politics. And they are finding that… they don’t have the same clout that they used to.” Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #JoeBiden #Biden2024 #USElections2024 #USDemocrats #GazaCeasfireTalks #USAidToIsrael #GazaWar #Israel #IsraelHamasWar #IsraelGazaWar #IsraelHamasTalks
