The surprise attack on Israel by Hamas instantly elevates foreign policy to the top of the conversation for candidates in the 2024 presidential race.
In an instant, the conversation in the race for the White House was altered as Hamas militants, supported by Iran, on Saturday launched the deadliest attack on Israel in decades. And the surprise assault on Israel during the early morning hours of a major Jewish holiday immediately elevated foreign policy – which was one of many leading issues in the presidential race – to the center of the campaign spotlight.
The Biden administration has pushed back on GOP criticism by insisting that none of the funds transferred have been spent to date, but Republicans claim that the deal – and the funds – helped fuel the Hamas assault on Israel. Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has emphasized that Tehran would spend the money 'wherever we need it,' to which the Biden administration responded it could freeze the assets again if necessary.
