President Joe Biden has expressed full support for Israel in its efforts to combat Hamas but may face challenges in maintaining this commitment due to competing pressures. Progressives within the Democratic Party are urging Biden to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reduce the lethality of the counterattack as the civilian death toll rises in Palestine. Centrist voices in the Democratic Party support Israel's defense against Hamas, while Republicans criticize Biden for not doing enough to bolster Israel's security.
