T. Belman. This visit is unconscionable. I call it treason. I expect more from the leader of the loyal opposition.
The one-day visit will include meetings with senior Biden administration officials.
(September 5, 2023 / JNS). Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid arrived in Washington on Tuesday for meetings with senior U.S. officials, his office said.
The Yesh Atid Party chief, who served as interim prime minister and as foreign minister in the previous government, is scheduled to meet with Biden administration officials, members of Congress and Jewish community leaders before heading back to Israel on Tuesday night.
His office did not name the senior government officials with whom he will hold talks.
During the meetings, U.S. officials intend to bring up the normalization process with Saudi Arabia. Riyadh has requested American help for a civilian nuclear program in exchange for ties with Israel, a demand that Lapid has publicly opposed.
“I am very much in favor of a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia,” he said during a television interview last month, before adding, “But not at the expense of uranium enrichment that would endanger Israel’s security.”
Lapid’s visit comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been snubbed, so far denied a traditional White House visit. On July 17, more than six months after Netanyahu returned to the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, President Joe Biden invited Netanyahu for a meeting “somewhere in the United States” at some time “later this year.”
Netanyahu is expected to fly to New York for the U.N. General Assembly general debate this month, during which he may meet with Biden in the city, although neither side has confirmed details.
“The details are going to be worked out by the different teams,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told journalists in July. “But they have committed to meeting and seeing each other.”
To all Jews
Biden is NeoCon killer
Trump too he was first to arm the Fascists and boasted about his Javelines
No alternative it’s the system
@Bear Of course.
@Seb, yes Trump is a world apart and better than Biden and would not hinder Israel if it decides to destroy and defeat the enemy. My point neither Trump nor any US Troops would be fighting the enemy but Israelis.
@ Bear Or the short run. Whatever you think of him, Trump will be the only alternative to Biden next November and he has a proven history of not tying Israel’s hands or enabling Israel’s disloyal opposition.
@Seb, victory over the Pal-Arabs and destroying the terrorist organization including the PA is the only thing in the long run that can bring peace.
If only Bibi, in his turn, had the freedom to say for peace in Israel and the Middle East what Victor Orban replied to Tucker Carlson when he asked him what he thought the available road to peace in Ukraine and Europe was: President Trump .
Michael Oren is predicting that there is about an 80% chance that a deal between USA, Saudi-Arabia and Israel will actually occur before the 2024 elections because all three leaders want it to occur.
The PA has been bought off with money from the Saudis in agreement not to embarrass the Saudis. So Israel will not have to conceded too much for it to occur because the Saudis actually do not care about the Palestinians.

Try it.
The absolute truth.
This is all part of the plan to destroy Israel and destroy America. Lapid is therefore on the side of the globalist predators.
This is no longer a political struggle.
This is a spiritual war between good and evil.
The globalists, should they win, would overwhelm the world with evil. We see all the signs of that already.
