Jose Andres, a celebrity chef and successful businessman, founded World Central Kitchen (WCK) to provide food to people in need in war zones and disaster areas. With funding from Mr. Andres and his extensive network, WCK has served meals in various challenging situations, including floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, pandemics, and battlefields. Recently, US President Joe Biden expressed his support for Mr. Andres and called him a friend after seven WCK aid workers were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
He is one of those rare public figures whom nobody seems to have a bad word about.
US media has spent the past week lamenting the loss of the aid workers, forensically detailing the three Israeli strikes in three locations that took out the team. There is a Republican-Democrat split on the issue, with support for Israel stronger among Republican voters, and Republican politicians are less than outspoken on the issue.
He added:"People are imagining there are a lot of people in those buildings...and they don't like it...To me it doesn’t make them look tough. They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big." His allies say he would continue his policy of putting maximum pressure on Iran, and trying to detach regional proxies such as Lebanon, Syria and Yemen from Tehran's orbit.
The strategic picture in the wider Middle East is why the Biden administration, and by extension any US administration, finds it difficult to align with public opinion in the face of various outrages, from the more than 100,000 casualties of this long-running Gaza campaign, down to the massacre of the WCK workers.It was the first time the two had talked since 18 March.
These are all signs that dissatisfaction with Mr Biden’s policy has spread beyond the progressive and far left parts of the Democratic party, and into the centre ground of establishment Washington.A Gallup poll published ten days ago showed a majority of Americans, 55% to 36%, disapproved Israels military action in Gaza.A Quinnipiac University poll found 52% of voters are against sending more military aid to Israel, with 39% in favour.
