National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan wrote that the"Middle East is quieter than it has been in decades" in an article published days before Hamas' attack on Israel.
Yes, “challenges remain,” particularly in the West Bank, Sullivan conceded. But “we have de-escalated crises in Gaza and restored direct diplomacy between the parties after years of its absence.”And so much for Biden’s “direct diplomacy” between Israelis and Palestinians being “restored.”So: Did Sullivan and his White House cohorts learn their lesson when Hamas struck on Oct. 7?
Some of the self-congratulatory sections were cut. Added were lines like: “The October 7 attacks have cast a shadow over the entire regional picture, the repercussions of which are still playing out, including the risk of significant regional escalation.”What followed what was an inexplicable assertion by Sullivan that the “disciplined approach in the Middle East that we have pursued remains core to our posture and planning as we deal with this crisis.
But with every development, there’s someone in the Biden White House to tell us that, in fact, everything is awesome.
