U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has been marked by significant challenges in the Middle East, most notably the conflict between Israel and Hamas. After eight months of negotiations, Biden's administration succeeded in securing a ceasefire and hostage deal between the two parties. This achievement, however, is viewed by some analysts as overshadowed by the escalation of conflicts during Biden's tenure, which have had a destabilizing effect on the region.

Following a planned meeting between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, violence erupted after an attack by Hamas on Israeli communities. This led to a retaliatory response by Israel against Gaza which then involved Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran. Despite Biden's efforts, critics argue the conflict unfolded beyond his ability to contain it, focusing instead on the catastrophic outcomes of the 15-month-long Gaza war.

Biden's actions have been met with both criticism and defense. Republicans, including incoming U.S. President Donald Trump, attribute the chaos in the Middle East to perceived weaknesses in Biden's foreign policy. They claim that such unrest would have been avoided under different leadership. Biden's supporters, however, maintain he has confronted inherited challenges adequately, focusing on weakening regional adversaries and minimizing civilian harm.

Looking ahead, it falls on the Trump administration to continue the work initiated by Biden in maintaining the ceasefire's integrity and moving towards a post-conflict strategy. As the international community watches, the onus will be on ensuring compliance with the ceasefire terms and paving the way for long-term stability in the region.



El legado de Biden, marcado por la devastación de Gaza y una tímida tregua

A mediados de septiembre de 2023, el consejero de Seguridad Nacional de EE.UU. Jake Sullivan esbozó un agenda optimista para una próxima reunión entre el presidente Joe Biden y el primer ministro israelí Ministro Benjamin Netanyahu. Centrado en los valores democráticos compartidos entre Estados Unidos e Israel y en una visión para una región más estable, próspera e integrada. Apenas unas semanas más tarde, el 7 de octubre, esa visión de estabilidad y prosperidad se esfumó en humo. El ataque mortal de Hamás contra las comunidades israelíes fue seguido por las devastadoras represalias de Israel. en Gaza, un conflicto que luego se extendió, atrayendo a Líbano, Yemen e Irán. Tras ocho meses de negociaciones incesantes por parte de mi administración, se logró un alto el fuego y una toma de rehenes. ha sido alcanzado por Israel y Hamas. Biden desempeñó un papel importante en la consecución de un acuerdo de alto el fuego en Gaza para la liberación de rehenes por parte de Hamás. Pero los analistas dicen que es probable que su historial en Oriente Medio sea recordado no tanto por cómo conflictos terminaron bajo su mandato, sino por cómo se desarrollaron. Aparentemente más allá de su capacidad para contenerlos, el historial de Biden en la escena mundial probablemente se defina en gran medida por su gestión de la guerra de 15 meses en Gaza. Parte de lo que el presidente entrante de EE.UU. Donald Trump y sus compañeros republicanos han aprovechado como un, cito, mundo en llamas durante el mandato del presidente demócrata. Acusan a Biden de una débil resolución que animó a los enemigos a fomentar el caos en toda la región. El ataque del 7 de octubre contra Israel nunca habría ocurrido si yo fuera presidente. Cero posibilidades de que no ocurriera. Los aliados de Biden sostienen que ha tenido que enfrentarse a una serie de retos en Oriente Medio que no se habían planteado antes. y los ha manejado hábilmente, debilitando a Irán y a sus aliados regionales al tiempo que trabajando para limitar las víctimas civiles en Gaza y Líbano. Mi administración deja a la próxima una mano muy fuerte que jugar. Pero el firme apoyo de Biden a Israel, en una respuesta que diezmó a Hamás pero también mató a decenas de miles de civiles en Gaza, se cobró un alto precio en la credibilidad internacional de Estados Unidos. También significa que hay un montón de asuntos pendientes que se entregarán a Donald Trump y su administración. Marisa Kurma es la directora del programa de Oriente Medio en el Wilson Center.
