On Monday, I wrote about how the Biden administration has discussed negotiating with Hamas for the release of some hostages while leaving Israel out of the loop. Negotiating with terrorists at all is boneheaded, but to do it at the expense of an ally that could benefit from our support proves how terrible this administration’s foreign policy is.
