Beberapa saat setelah pelantikan Obama situs resmi White house juga meng-update isinya dengan agenda-agenda politik Obama dan Biden. Seperti telah di perkirakan dukungan Obama terhadap Israel masih mendominasi dalam kaitan krisis Gaza dan hubungan Israel-Palestina. Jadi jangan terlalu berharap pada Obama, khususnya pada masalah krisis kemanusiaan di Gaza. Cuplikan dari website white house dengan jelas menyebutkan dukungan US terhadap Israel:
Israel
* Ensure a Strong U.S.-Israel Partnership: Barack Obama and Joe Biden strongly support the U.S.-Israel relationship, and believe that our first and incontrovertible commitment in the Middle East must be to the security of Israel, America’s strongest ally in the region. They support this closeness, and have stated that the United States will never distance itself from Israel.
* Support Israel’s Right to Self Defense: During the July 2006 Lebanon war, Barack Obama stood up strongly for Israel’s right to defend itself from Hezbollah raids and rocket attacks, cosponsoring a Senate resolution against Iran and Syria’s involvement in the war, and insisting that Israel should not be pressured into a ceasefire that did not deal with the threat of Hezbollah missiles. He and Joe Biden believe strongly in Israel’s right to protect its citizens.
* Support Foreign Assistance to Israel: Barack Obama and Joe Biden have consistently supported foreign assistance to Israel. They defend and support the annual foreign aid package that involves both military and economic assistance to Israel and have advocated increased foreign aid budgets to ensure that these funding priorities are met. They have called for continuing U.S. cooperation with Israel in the development of missile defense systems.
