Letters to the Editor: Biden's stance on Gaza will cost him

Like many Irish people feeling an affinity with the US, I was delighted to see President Biden oust the former terrible incumbent from the White House in 2021. I watched his inauguration with emotion and joy that all would become somewhat well in the US and further afield in their sphere of influence.

Perhaps that is why I am devastatingly disappointed at Biden’s handling of the Gaza conflict and especially at his unnuanced and unconditional support for the monstrous administration of Netanyahu.
