On Monday night, Fox News discussed how America’s leadership is handling the war in Israel, and MSNBC spoke about President Joe Biden’s upcoming visit to Israel.
Fox News — What America’s enemies think of the Israeli war
On the “Ingraham Angle” Tuesday night, Ingraham shared a “60 Minutes” interview with Biden on CBS Sunday.
In the interview, Biden is asked if the wars in Ukraine and Israel are more than the United States can handle, to which he said no.
“We’re the United States of America,” Biden said. “We’re the most powerful nation in the history of the world. ... We can take care of both of these and still maintain our overall international defense.”
Ingraham said, “Of course, it goes without saying that Hamas terrorists should be destroyed, and we support Israel 100%. But let’s also face facts. If history is any guide, our weak and woke Pentagon leadership could actually make matters worse.”
Ingraham then shared an article written in The Wall Street Journal on how America’s enemies are “already gaining power and advantage because of this situation,” Ingraham said.
The war “is proving a boon for America’s main geopolitical rivals. China, Russia and Iran have long sought to undermine the U.S.-backed international system and are now taking advantage of America’s distraction,” the WSJ said.
MSNBC — Biden’s upcoming visit to Israel
Rachel Maddow spoke to Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., about Biden’s plans to visit Israel on “The Rachel Maddow Show.”
“Do you think that President Biden’s personal plans to visit Israel the day after tomorrow are indicative that there has been some sort of major breakthrough that he wants to be there to take credit for, or is him going there something that will hopefully shake loose those kinds of diplomatic advances that we haven’t yet seen?” Maddow asked Himes.
Himes responded that he doesn’t believe there’s anything to celebrate just yet. “I think what this is largely about is just indicating his personal and the United States’ commitment to keeping this war from getting regional (and) from getting bigger.”
Maddow asked Himes if he thought the United States was at a real risk of seeing a regional war, to which he said, “Very much so.”
He added that surrounding countries “are worried about their own survival, and so they too have an interest in this conflict not widening.”
