About this episode
After violence erupted between Hamas and Israel, President Biden flew to Tel Aviv to offer his ‘staunch’ ally US support.
In a very public embrace of Israel, he reinforced a relationship that goes back decades to Israel's foundation.
But does the US have the diplomatic influence to bring peace to the region?
This week on the Inquiry: what can US diplomacy achieve in the Middle East.
