(Wall Street Journal) William McGurn - The greatest gift from Benjamin Netanyahu to Joe Biden was making the American president's Middle East legacy seem much better than it is. And he did it by ignoring Biden's advice. It started with Netanyahu's sending ground forces into Gaza to defeat Hamas, which carried out the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel. Later he sent the Israel Defense Forces into Rafah, on the border with Egypt - the key to Hamas's weapons supply. He then pivoted to Hizbullah in Lebanon, which had started shooting at Israel on Oct. 8. Along the way Israel killed terrorist leaders in Tehran, Damascus and Beirut. Most recently, Israel has been fighting the Houthis, another Iranian proxy that operates from Yemen and has also been battling the U.S. Navy. Biden opposed almost all these actions. Netanyahu's strategy of destroying the Iranian proxies making war on Israel has gone a long way toward defanging Iran. After Iran launched missiles at Israel, Israel's retaliation left Iran's air defenses in tatters. All this happened because Netanyahu was willing to act in defiance of the received wisdom of the diplomatic community and most of the recommendations from the Biden White House. 2025-01-07 00:00:00Full Article
