      They’re not talking about Biden physically hugging Netanyahu himself, but his diplomatic strategy with respect to Israel. Basically pledging unwavering support so that Israel can be talked down and restrained from doing all that it might otherwise do.

      Except it’s unclear exactly how it’s worked here, perhaps apart from preventing some potentially huge escalation in the North against Hezbollah and Lebanon.
