If the topic of foreign policy arises at the Sept. 10 presidential debate, viewers are likely to hear about it.

Peter Bergen : Talking about a “rules-based order” won’t overcome Washington ’s hypocrisy problem.

Biden is right to worry about the autocratic challenge to democracy, Bergen says.

Bergen writes that Israel 's conduct in Gaza has been replete with alleged war crimes.

Kenneth Roth and Kenneth Roth : U.S. domestic law that supports international standards is also part of the "rules-based order" Roth and Roth : It's a violation of international criminal law to arm a systematically abusive force.

Harris could signal a different approach from Biden ’s by stating her determination to avoid complicity in Israeli war crimes.
