Of course it would be better for Biden's reelection prospects if he could remain popular with both younger, more left-leaning voters and older, more centrist ones, but I think the latter group is bigger, more likely to live in a state that isn't solidly Democratic, and actually willing to vote for Trump. (Trump is, in his not-very-coherent way, probably at least as pro-Israel as Biden.)

With that said, my guess is that Biden is actually doing what he believes is right, rather than simply maximizing his chance of being reelected.
