US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides participated on Sunday in the World Summit on Counter-Terrorism of The International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT) at Reichman University and argued that the leadership in Jerusalem must support the two-state solution.
“In order to preserve a democratic Jewish state, it is important to reach a two-state solution. The situation in Judea and Samaria cannot continue,” Nides said.
The Ambassador also commented on the state of the Iran nuclear agreement and said that his country will not allow Iran to obtain weapons of mass destruction.
“Iran and its allies pose an extreme threat to the security of the State of Israel. The US will not stand by and allow them to manufacture nuclear weapons,” he stressed.
Prof. Boaz Ganor, Founder and Executive Director of ICT, added that “If the nuclear agreement with Iran is signed, we are talking about a situation in which terrorist organizations and militias will receive aid and budgets that they have never received before, something that will have a profound effect on the future of global terrorism and, if it is not signed, it will lead to a direct confrontation with Iran. The US with the Biden administration brings an interesting policy to deal with terrorism as we have seen in the last year. Some would say a combination of separatism (Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq), alongside surgical operations in the fight against terrorism of targeted eliminations.”
US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said in pre-recorded remarks that terrorism today has changed its character.
“We are very concerned about the domestic terrorist, the domestic violent individual, who is not motivated by a foreign terrorist ideology, but by an ideology of hatred, of anti-establishment and anti-government messages, of false narratives, of personal grief that leads to extreme violence, or by narratives that are spread online,” he said.
When Nides can recite the history of Israel from Abraham until the present, then maybe we should listen to his advice. Until then, he has no right to tell Israel what to do. Also he needs to explain the state of Palestine and its history, including national governments, list of leaders from the beginning, the history of the name Palestine, and then maybe he would qualify to offer advice.
@Per Good one! There is a Palestine, TX.
A Palestinian state should be located in the US where they have their friends.
Doesn’t Israel have the option of rejecting this ambassador? Symbolic, but this is unacceptable.
Two-state solution no problem as soon as the Koran is changed to stop hating and killing Jews.
These are jewhating terrorists that Nides wants to reward with dollars and a state from which to launch bigger terrorist attacks
More nerd than Nides
Nides is a plonka
Nobody’s business but Israel’s. The Americans, under their disastrous president, should keep their noses out of it.
What a lousy deal , the ” good ” american friend would like Israelis to pay for .
Lesson from Gaza withdrawal was not clear enough ? Do we need a rain of rockets from the mountains ridge over the Shfelah , NatBG , Kvish 6 , Tel Aviv ? And cherry on the pie , Biden is ready either to sign a permissive nuclear deal with Iran or to turn his eyesight to the wrong direction . US posture is allowed as long as one still delude himself with US protection ; pipe dream :
Time for radical action is now .
Maybe Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas is the ONLY person in the Biden administration who can understand Israel’s situation
Ambassador Nides needs to be ashamed.
