In a week dominated by significant foreign policy developments and domestic negotiations, President Joe Biden's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping took center stage. The summit, a year in the making and amid escalating tensions, aimed to reestablish communication and reset relations between the world's two largest economies.

Political analysts David Brooks, New York Times columnist, and Jonathan Capehart, Associate Editor for The Washington Post, weighed in on the outcomes of the Biden-Xi meeting, as well as the U.S. response to the Israel-Hamas conflict and the compromise reached on Capitol Hill to avert a government shutdown.

Regarding the bilateral meeting with President Xi, Capehart noted that the initial expectations were not particularly high, emphasizing the need for the two global superpowers to engage in constructive dialogue despite their competition. Capehart commended the fact that President Xi made the visit to the United States, highlighting the importance of such face-to-face discussions between leaders.

Brooks, on the other hand, expressed concern about the military buildup by China and the potential for conflict. However, he acknowledged that President Xi seemed to recognize China's vulnerability on the economic front. Brooks credited the Biden administration's efforts in building alliances and the relatively slower growth of the Chinese economy as factors that may have influenced Xi's approach and reduced the likelihood of military escalation.

Shifting the focus to the Israel-Hamas war, concerns were raised about the U.S. response. While overall American support for Israel remains high, recent polling data from a "NewsHour"/NPR/Marist poll indicated a shift in public sentiment. Approximately 38 percent of respondents considered the Israeli response to be "too much."

Capehart highlighted the fact that the White House's messaging to address these growing concerns may have fallen short. Though the majority of Americans still support Israel's right to self-defense, the increasing casualties and destruction in Gaza have led to a rise in dissent and questions about Israel's adherence to the rules of war.

Brooks shed light on the evolving dynamics within the U.S., pointing out a growing rift between liberals and progressives on the issue of Israel. Traditional policy positions within the Democratic Party have been challenged, with some progressives advocating for a shift towards a "one state" solution – a departure from the party's historical support for Israel.

Shifting gears to domestic affairs, the threat of a government shutdown loomed large. However, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson managed to pass a temporary funding bill through the House with the help of Democratic lawmakers. The bill, which has also been passed by the Senate and signed by President Biden, has bought some time to reach a more permanent solution.

Jonathan Capehart, initially skeptical of Speaker Johnson's ability to avert a shutdown, expressed relief at the compromise reached. The temporary funding bill prevents an immediate disruption to government operations, providing an opportunity for further negotiations.

As foreign policy takes precedence on the world stage and compromises are made on Capitol Hill to avoid a government shutdown, the Biden administration continues to navigate the challenges and complexities of domestic and international affairs.
