Ted Cruz Challenges Biden's Assistant Secretary on Israel and Iran Stance

In a contentious Senate hearing, Senator Ted Cruz questioned Barbara Leaf, Biden’s Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, accusing her of overseeing the administration's radical anti-Israel and pro-Iran agenda. Cruz highlighted what he described as the most anti-Israel administration in history, criticizing Leaf for her role in promoting policies favoring Iran and undermining Israel.

During the hearing, Cruz pressed Leaf to defend the administration's decisions, including its stance on Israel and support for Palestinian groups with ties to Hamas. Leaf, however, avoided directly addressing these accusations, which only intensified Cruz's scrutiny.
