Fox News host Jessica Tarlov defends President Joe Biden's 'delayed' response to Hamas attacks on Israel
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Opinions on the official response of the President of the United States to the Israel-Palestine conflict continue to be polarized. However, Fox News host Jessica Tarlov recently commended Joe Biden's approach to his position on the ongoing conflict.
During a discussion with her fellow co-hosts on 'The Five,' the designated Democrat, Tarlov, offered a defense of Biden's speech on Tuesday, in which he expressed support for Israel.
She engaged in a debate with her co-hosts over the perceived delay in the speech, given reports that the White House had hosted a barbecue immediately following the announcement of the conflict.

When questioned by segment lead Judge Jeanine Pirro about her confidence in Biden's ability to prevent further American casualties in Israel, Tarlov responded promptly with a positive assertion.
"I have seen bipartisan support and adulation for this speech," the host said, "There are people on social media who are conservatives, very pro-Israel, saying that this is a speech that Barach Obama would not have made when he was in Office. So, this was one of the more pro-Israel speeches you could ever have envisioned."
Tarlov also took the opportunity to respond to her co-hosts' concerns regarding the content of the President's speech.
"I'm sorry that he didn't say exactly the world you wanted, in the order that you wanted them," she added, "But his message was unequivocally clear. I would add to that that I think he has been clear since day one of this. He spoke to the American people on Saturday afternoon. He came out and he said, without equivocation, 'We stand with Israel'. There's no talk of the Palestinians, making sure that there's no loss of life in the Gaza Strip. [He] said' We have your back'."

The POTUS faced criticism for arranging a barbecue gathering at the White House without having officially acknowledged the Hamas attack on Israel.
Tarlov came to his defense by pointing out that he had employed alternative channels to address the ongoing conflict.
"In terms of what he has been doing in the interim days when he's been disappointing you, I guess, when he's not on camera, there was a joint statement that came out last night signed by the US, France, Germany, and Italy coming together, speaking out in support of Israel," Tarlov explained.
"Bibi Netanyahu has thanked President Biden for the support. The White House is now lit up in the Israeli flag colors something that was upsetting [Jeanine Pirro] yesterday. So, I don't really get that besides kind of partisan bickering, what the problem is with how Joe Biden has addressed this. If it is good enough for Netanyahu, it should be good enough for you," she added.
