Biden avoids a further Mideast spiral as Israel and Iran show restraint. But for how long?
==========

Israel and Iran have shown restraint, avoiding further escalation in the Middle East. President Joe Biden urged Israel to temper its response to Iran's attack and avoid violence. Iran's public response to Israeli strikes was muted. Biden's handling of foreign affairs has received negative appraisals from voters. Concerns about foreign policy issues are growing among Americans. Biden's approval ratings dropped after the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The situation remains delicate as Israel and Hamas are far from reaching an agreement on a cease-fire. The Biden administration is holding Israel accountable while trying to provide humanitarian relief to Gaza. The future remains complicated and uncertain.
