The recent attacks on Israel by Hamas have put President Biden’s Iran deal in the spotlight. As Israel retaliates against the Palestinian militant group in Gaza, questions arise about the extent of support Hamas receives from Iran.

The Biden administration has reaffirmed America’s strong support for Israel while also addressing concerns about Israeli-Americans who may be held hostage or killed in these attacks. Reports suggest that several Americans have been killed or are missing, and the State Department is working to verify these claims.

Criticism has been directed towards President Biden for conducting a prisoner swap with Iran in September, which included unfreezing $6 billion in oil revenues. Critics argue that this indirectly enables the violence perpetrated by Hamas.

Congressional Republicans, GOP presidential candidates, and conservative critics are among those condemning Biden’s actions. They see the recent attacks as a consequence of the lifted sanctions and fear that the released funds could potentially support future terror activities.

The Biden administration has vehemently denied these claims, stating that the funds have yet to be released and will be closely monitored. They stress that the money has nothing to do with the attacks and urge against spreading misinformation.

Iran has defended Hamas’ surprise attack, hailing it as a defeat for Israel. However, there is no official confirmation that Iran played a role in planning or organizing the attack.

Amidst these developments, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential presidential nominee, criticized Biden’s delayed response to the crisis. DeSantis believes the president should have been more proactive and engaged when an ally like Israel is under threat.

Meanwhile, Israel has launched its retaliation against Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared war and promised to seek vengeance for the attacks.

It is a critical moment for President Biden’s Iran deal as questions mount about its implications and the support Hamas receives from Iran.
