Biden to visit Israel on Wednesday in show of solidarity

President Biden will travel to Israel this week in a show of solidarity. The Wednesday visit to Israel will be a powerful symbol of sympathy and support, but there are risks involved. Mr. Biden’s travel to the Mideast comes as Israeli forces prepare for a possible ground attack against Gaza aimed at Hamas terrorists. After meeting with Israeli leadership, the president will go on to Jordan for talks with King Abdullah, as well as the Egyptian and Palestinian presidents, in a bid to prevent the war from becoming a larger regional conflict.
