Sen. John Kennedy warns Israel won't get 'much help' from Biden admin in possible counterattack on Iran

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., slammed the Biden administration's foreign policy in the Middle East, warning Israel should not expect significant support from the president as it weighs a potential response to Iran's drone and missile attack.

I think the response will be smart. I think it'll be strategic. I don't think Israel's going to take its eye off of the prize here. Israel's got to destroy Hamas, and it's clear they're not going to get much help from President Biden. We've got to do to Hamas, what we did to Al-Qaeda and ISIS. … I'm sure it's apparent to the people of Israel that the people in the Biden administration, these folks are not wartime consiglieres... They're a lot more comfortable going on NPR and debating whether a man can breastfeed than they are... standing up to our enemies and Israel's enemies. It is what it is. We've seen that in the war in the Middle East, and we've seen that in Ukraine.
