President Biden is the latest in a long line of presidents to place himself in the middle of a Middle East conflict. U.S. efforts have seen failed starts, wrong turns and dead ends, but some progress.
Biden says he knew he had a lot on the line during his 31-hour dash to Tel Aviv. Now he'll follow that with an Oval Office speech to push for foreign spending, another gamble he can't afford to lose.
In his Oval Office speech, President Biden reiterated his strong support for Israel in the wake of a deadly attack by Hamas. But it isn't making political waves in a deeply divided America.
