“No administration has helped Israel more than I have,” Biden said. “None. None, none. And I think Bibi should remember that. And whether he’s trying to influence the election, I don’t know but I’m not counting on that.”

…they have lots of staffers and consultants that provide info and policy suggestions.

Sure. For things like which bridge to build or school lunches.

Things like the US policy on Israel/ Gaza, or US policy on Ukraine/ Russia: issues like this are always elevated to the top.

And so to me its a "Buck stops where?" question. Like, at a certain point, the buck stops with some one and I'm suggesting it isn't Biden right now. The guy is clearly not in faculatative command and doesnt (I think) seem aware of the basics of the situation, as the article demonstrates.
