Joe Biden has been in office for about a month. I have my doubts about the degree to which Joe himself is running things, but because he has always bent pragmatically to the winds of political (and perhaps personal) advantage, it’s not really important. Someone is making policy, in particular policy that concerns Israel. The course set by the Biden Administration appears to be almost 180 degrees from that taken by Donald Trump, and promises to bring back the sharp disagreements between the two nations that characterized the Obama period. He has already brought back most of the same people.
There are two main areas with which Israel must be concerned: the Palestinian and Iranian arenas. The Palestinian question seems to be on the back burner now, perhaps because everyone realizes that no solution is likely. But the Iranian desk is buzzing with activity. Obama’s people had four years to lick their wounds and plan for a rematch. Now their time has come, and they are moving swiftly.
@ Marsha .roseman:
Countries that have stood with Israel in the past, are The USSR, Czechoslovakia, France, Britain, the US and the Lebanese Christians. Turkey and Greece have never helped Israel.
Under the current totalitarian control, the US is anti-Israel.
America is treating Saudi Arabia like the UN treats Israel. Too bad Turkey is so unreliable. A United Israel. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Greece UAE, Bahrain Abrahamic Accord could address Iran without USA. The
