WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS' ASSOCIATION Award
ENTRY WINNER
Anthony Zurcher
ENTRY EXPLANATION
The entries are part of a series of articles on the Biden administration’s political and diplomatic response to the October 9 Hamas attack on Israel and the resulting Gaza War. The reporting was done at the White House, with Joe Biden during his presidential re-election campaign travels and from the Middle East, as Secretary of State Antony Blinken worked to resolve the crisis and prevent the hostilities from spreading throughout the region. The final entry puts Biden's foreign policy record in the context of the sweep of history, tracking how the issues Biden grappled with, particularly in the Middle East, echo those that confronted the late Jimmy Carter, the last one-term Democratic president.
