These points reflect critiques from various perspectives and should be considered within the broader context of his presidency: Domestic Policy Issues Handling of Inflation: Critics argue that Biden's administration underestimated the risks of inflation, particularly in the wake of substantial government spending through COVID-19 relief and stimulus measures like the American Rescue Plan. Some claim that this contributed to rising costs of goods and services. Immigration Policy: The administration faced criticism over the ongoing situation at the U.S.-Mexico border. Opponents argue that Biden's reversal of Trump-era policies, such as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, led to a surge in migrant crossings. Overcrowded detention facilities and delayed reforms to the immigration system were also points of concern. Afghanistan Withdrawal: The withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in August 2021 was widely criticized for being poorly executed. The sudden collapse of the Afghan government and the chaotic evacuation process, including the tragic Kabul airport attack, were seen as a failure in planning and coordination. Student Loan Relief Program Challenges: While praised by many, Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan faced legal challenges and was eventually struck down by the Supreme Court. Critics argue the program lacked clarity on implementation and bypassed Congressional approval. Energy Policy: The administration's focus on transitioning to renewable energy was criticized for being too abrupt, particularly during a time of rising gas prices in 2022. Biden faced accusations of mixed messaging, such as approving new oil leases while promoting clean energy initiatives. COVID-19 Management: While Biden’s administration expanded vaccine distribution, some critics argued the messaging around vaccine mandates, masking, and booster shots was inconsistent and divisive. Foreign Policy Challenges Relations with China: Critics contend that Biden’s approach to managing tensions with China has been unclear, particularly concerning trade disputes, Taiwan, and human rights issues. Some see his handling as either too confrontational or too lenient, depending on the political perspective. Ukraine Conflict: While Biden received praise for rallying NATO support against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, critics raised concerns about the high financial cost of U.S. military aid, arguing for greater transparency and strategy. Iran Nuclear Deal: Efforts to revive the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) faced delays and criticism from opponents who believe it is too lenient on Iran's nuclear ambitions. Political and Communication Issues Bipartisanship Struggles: Despite promises to unify the country, Biden faced challenges bridging the partisan divide in Congress, with several legislative efforts stalling due to lack of Republican support. Public Perception and Messaging: Biden’s communication style, including gaffes and occasional lack of clarity, has been criticized for undermining confidence in his leadership. Concerns about his age and stamina have fueled debates about his effectiveness. Ethics and Transparency: Ongoing scrutiny of Hunter Biden’s business dealings has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest, though no direct evidence implicates President Biden

The Israeli Ministry of Defense has released details — and imagery — of a dramatic commando raid into Syria, which targeted an underground missile production facility, back in September. The raid, codenamed Operation Many Ways, was deemed an outstanding success, with the facility destroyed and none of the 120 Israeli special forces troops involved being injured. Until now, however, very few details of how the raid took place had emerged. The raid was carried out on Sept. 8 by members of the Israeli Air Force (IAF), specifically its elite Shaldag unit and Unit 669. Shaldag is a clandestine outfit that specializes in long-range penetration operations, including commando-style raids. Unit 669 is tasked primarily with combat search and rescue (CSAR), a key requirement of missions carried out in or close to hostile territory. What the Israeli Ministry of Defense described as “precision-guided missiles” and long-range rockets were planned to be made at the facility and then supplied to Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as to the Assad regime in Syria. In terms of Iranian support for Hezbollah, Deep Layer was Iran’s “flagship project,” according to the IDF.
