Fifty years and one day later, Hamas terrorists invaded southwest Israel, killed some 1400 Israelis, took some 200 hostages, and, in so doing, opened up a new front in the simmering conflict that pits Iran and its supporters—China and Russia among them—against Israel and its chief supporter, the United States.

2023-08-0958 minThe Tikvah PodcastMichael Doran on the Ambiguities in Biden's Middle East StrategyEarlier this week, the American foreign-policy expert and Mosaic writer Michael Doran published an important essay called "Biden's Ties That Bind." In it, he argues that the Biden administration's true strategic aims in the Middle East are not a change from the Obama administration's aims but are consistent with them. These aims were to empower Iran in order to establish a balance of power in the region which would, in turn, allow America to focus more attention on China. And to empower Iran, the United States must constrain Israel, Iran's chief regional nemesis. Doran's essay seeks therefore...

This view certainly sums up conventional foreign-policy wisdom, but, write the Hudson Institute scholars Michael Doran and Peter Rough, it couldn't be more wrong. In an extended essay published in Tablet, Doran and Rough demonstrate that "China is very actively engaged in a hard-power contest with the United States," in the Middle...
