In Israel, Biden Affirms Support, Warns ...

NPR
About this episode
The president delivered the remarks during his trip to Israel. An additional stop in Jordan to meet with Egypt's leader and the head of the Palestinian Authority was cancelled.

Majorities of both parties in the U.S. favor American support for Israel. And, despite an ascendant isolationist inclination within the Republican Party, the deeply rooted pro-Israel sentiment among the party's white evangelical base has remained steadfast.

This episode: White House correspondent Asma Khalid, campaign correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, and national political correspondent Mara Liasson.

The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Elena Moore. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
