Its now obvious the US government is split between those who still want to support Israel in whatever it does no matter what the cost, and those who have developed a more pragmatic stance.

Biden was once clearly in the first camp, the question is if he is slowly shifting into the second.

I don't think there are two camps. It's more that Biden is wedded to the Trump policy of the Abraham Accords and getting Saudi Arabia to recognize Israel, and sees the Palestinians as a bargaining chip to that end. Which is ironic because, if this policy were to succeed, it would be because of a strategy initiated by Trump. Oct. 7 is also arguably a result of this strategy. Biden could have basically blamed Trump's Abraham Accord strategy for Oct. 7 and then moved to accept a Palestinian state under the PLA, while freeing U.S. policy from both Likud and Prince Salman, but instead he is sticking to the Trump strategy. It's yet another example of how despite changing parties, Biden has essentially continued yet another Trump policy.
