During his visit to Israel, US President Joe Biden assured PM Netanyahu and his war cabinet that one does not need to be Jewish to be a Zionist, stating that he himself is a Zionist.

Biden's strong connection to Israel is deeply ingrained in his political DNA and will be a challenge he must navigate.
