It’s the day of President Biden’s trip to Israel — his strongest show of support for the country yet in its war against Hamas.

“We’ll make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of itself,” Biden said last week.

The trip, which comes as Israel prepares for a ground counterattack in Gaza, will give Biden the chance to meet with Israeli leaders and discuss growing humanitarian concerns in Gaza.
