It gives Americans the impression (right or wrong, but perception is reality) he stands with China over Israel.
His decision comes as many in his cabinet are demanding a cease fire, he could have stood with Israel being clear he is not straddling the fence.
Attending the APEC conference of which he is the Chair and host means he is doing ALL of his job. Israel and the Middle East is not the only concern in the world. Unlike his predecessor, President Biden understands the importance and ability to multi-task. The President does not have the luxury to only be concerned with one problem at a time. The meeting with President Xi is just one of many events he is scheduled to attend and host in San Francisco. This conference has been on his schedule for months.
The President has spoken out against anti-Semitism dozens of times. He has voiced support for Israel repeatedly. If you don't believe it by now, one more speech won't make a difference.
Speaking face-to-face with the leader of one of the world's leading economies, the leader of a country who is trying to make its own militaristic threats is important.
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
