President Joe Biden told reporters on Friday that he expected Iran to attack Israel "sooner, rather than later." Advertisement"The fact that the Biden administration is both arming Israel and sending aid to Gaza shows the world that the Biden team has no strategic competence," McFate said. But the president's support for Israel runs counter to the reasons he said the US should support Ukraine. "I've just spoken with Prime Minister Netanyahu to reaffirm America's ironclad commitment to the security of Israel," Biden said. However, in the same call, Biden told the prime minister that the US will oppose a counterattack against Iran, a senior White House official told CNN.
