The Joe Biden administration is preparing for the possibility that hundreds of thousands of American citizens will require evacuation from the Middle East if the bloodshed in Gaza cannot be contained, according to four officials familiar with the U.S. government’s contingency planning.
When it comes to keeping American citizens safe abroad, pretend president Joe Biden has a horrible record especially if you judge him by the incredible mess he made in the withdrawal from Afghanistan. That left hundreds of American citizens stranded to face the wrath of the Taliban, you can file that under ‘war crimes’. Now as the Middle East stands poised to explode in fighting not seen since 1947, hundreds of thousands of Americans once again are exposed.

Today is Day 18 of the Israel-Gaza War, and since the number 18 breaks down to 6+6+6, it is perhaps only fitting that Emmanuel Macron has chosen this day to visit Israel. “This fight against terrorism is obviously a matter of existence for Israel, but its a matter of existence for all of us,” Macron told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the two held a joint press conference in Jerusalem on Tuesday. “I consider that it is an international coalition in order to fight against this terror group that we have to build,” he said.
U.S. readies plans for mass evacuations if Gaza war escalates
FROM MICROSOFT START: The specter of such an operation comes as Israeli forces, aided by U.S. weapons and military advisers, prepare for what is widely expected to be a perilous ground offensive against Hamas militants responsible for the stunning cross-border attack that has reignited hostilities. The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to detail internal deliberations, said Americans living in Israel and neighboring Lebanon are of particular concern, though they stressed that an evacuation of that magnitude is considered a worst-case scenario and that other outcomes are seen as more likely.
Still, one official said, it “would be irresponsible not to have a plan for everything.”
The administration, despite its forceful public support for Israel, is deeply alarmed by the prospect of escalation, and in recent days it has turned its attention in part to the complicated logistics of abruptly having to relocate a large number of people, according to three people familiar with the discussions. There were about 600,000 U.S. citizens in Israel and another 86,000 believed to be in Lebanon when Hamas attacked, according to State Department estimates.
The concern in Lebanon is chiefly over Hezbollah, a political party and militant group that, along with allies, currently controls the largest number of parliamentary seats. It entered parliament in 1992. It has long accepted training and weapons from Iran, prompting concerns that it could attack Israel from the north, creating a two-front war that would stretch Israeli forces. Already, there have been skirmishes along their shared border.
