US President Joe Biden has been criticized for blaming Israel for the recent murder of six hostages, including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, by Hamas. The article suggests several actions Biden could have taken to secure the release of the American hostages, including military action, economic pressure, speaking out, and offering rewards. However, the author argues that Biden has not taken any of these steps because it would conflict with his administration's priority of creating a Palestinian state in Israel's backyard.
