Summary
Why did President Biden stay the course in Gaza even as some of his own advisers pushed for change? In his new book, “Crossing the Red Line,” journalist Akbar Shahid Ahmed reconstructs the decisions behind U.S. support for Israel’s war in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas. We talk to him about President Biden’s reluctance to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his abandoned “red line” over Israel’s invasion of Rafah and the legacy of those decisions today. Guest: Akbar Shahid Ahmed, diplomatic correspondent, The Washington Sun, author, “Crossing the Red Line: Biden, His Advisors, and Israel’s War in Gaza” Learn more about your ad choices.
