The relationship between U.S. President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faced recent strains, but the recent attack on Israel by Palestinian militants has renewed their focus on ensuring Israel's security and survival. Biden had previously urged Netanyahu to abandon efforts to overhaul Israel's judiciary, leading to tensions in their relationship. However, the attack by Hamas has shifted their attention back to Israel's security concerns.

The attack is likely to temporarily unite Israelis while increasing Republican pressure on Biden to support Israel. Biden, who has faced pressure from progressive Democrats regarding Israel, is expected to provide strong support to Netanyahu in the short term.

Biden and Netanyahu are dealing with complex political shifts at home, with their leadership at stake and the possibility of a second Donald Trump presidency looming. The attack's long-term implications remain uncertain, but for now, Biden has no alternative but to be extraordinarily supportive of Netanyahu.
