The article discusses the contrasting views on Joe Biden's Middle East policies and the implications for the incoming Trump administration. Supporters argue Biden strengthened America's position, particularly through support for Israel after recent Hamas attacks. In contrast, detractors claim he harmed U.S. interests by ignoring humanitarian issues. Regardless of perspective, the Trump administration faces a newly favorable regional context, as adversarial forces like Iran and Hezbollah have weakened significantly, presenting opportunities and challenges in U.S. foreign policy moving forward.
Both sides' arguments have their merits—and which of them ends up winning the debate matters, because the Trump administration and administrations to come will set their policies based in some part on how Biden's foreign policy is remembered.
Iran in particular has suffered humiliating losses over the past six months, mainly but not exclusively at the hands of the U.S.-backed Israel Defense Forces.
