Joe Biden has had enough of Benjamin Netanyahu. The U.S. president’s distaste for the Israeli prime minister was evident six weeks ago, when the White House made little effort to deny reports that Biden called Netanyahu an “Israeli.”asshole“Because he refused to ease the bombing and blockade of Gaza.
The United States decided on Monday to allow the Security Council to pass a ceasefire resolution in Gaza, aiming to signal that U.S. diplomatic cover for Israel is no longer guaranteed.
The United States always supports Israel—until its own interests are threatened. Many analysts now describe Israel as a strategic liability to the United States.
Washington’s stance seems both cowardly and callous.The U.S. is airdropping food (in some cases) directly to) displaces Gaza residents while providing bombs that force them to flee and put them at risk of starvation.
Netanyahu opposes any easing of the Gaza war because far-right elements in his shaky coalition will not allow it.If his coalition collapses, Netanyahu 15% approval ratingFacing a crushing electoral defeat and potentially having to respond to prosecutors seeking to bring corruption charges against him.
Half of Gaza’s population has died and survivors may face starvation, now threatening Biden’s re-election chances.
The Biden administration says it strongly opposes invading Rafah in southern Gaza “without a credible and enforceable plan to ensure civilian safety and support.” Biden once said “[we] We cannot allow another 30,000 Palestinians to die.”
But as Netanyahu pursues the war based on his personal political priorities, there is no certainty he will change course. Will Biden really use the nuclear option — halting weapons shipments?
U.S. presidents, including Biden, have limited influence over Jerusalem because of U.S. power israel lobby. Barack Obama recognized this in his first year as president, when he tried to pressure Netanyahu to halt settlement construction but faced fierce opposition from both Republicans and Democrats.
Observers detect changes in the air. “Being a senator Chuck Schumerone of israel’s staunchest defenders speech Declaring in the Senate that Netanyahu’s policies are bad for Israel, you know the political winds are turning,” said Stephen WalterInternational relations expert at Harvard University.
Jewish Democratic senators’ criticism of Netanyahu prompted a vitriolic response from Trump, who declared that Jews who vote for Democrats “Hate Israel”.
He has made such rude remarks before. His malignant narcissism requires him to use the most unpleasant language to attack anyone who opposes him. Right-wingers and evangelicals will embrace it.
Some experts say Trump’s attacks on Jewish Democrats go too far. Todd Landman, a political scientist at the University of Nottingham, believes that “this is a reductionist logic that offends many Jews in both major parties. It is also an exclusionary and binary electoral strategy that will alienate potential Trumps.” voter”.
Trump is too dull to see the irony in expressing concern for Jews and Israel by doing the bidding of the Christian right. Evangelists believed that a Jewish state of Israel was a prerequisite for the return of the Messiah – at which point the Jews would of course convert to Christianity or else go to hell.
The failure to achieve a lasting peace with the Palestinians remains the greatest threat to Israel’s long-term security conditions.
In another warning about what would happen if Trump wins in November and Netanyahu remains in office, the Republican candidate attacked Biden for not supporting Israel’s attack on Gaza enough.
Trump believes Israel needs to ‘get it done’ with US support [the war] Get up and do it quickly”—effectively admonishing it to intensify its bombing and speed up its killing spree.
None of this is surprising. From 2016 to 2020, President Trump has been a gift to Netanyahu.
Trump (largely at Netanyahu’s behest) scrapped the Iran nuclear deal, recognized Israeli control of the Golan Heights and moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, thereby strengthening the Israeli prime minister’s stance on ultra-Zionism appeal among communist parties to bolster his fifth term in office – to the dismay of authorities seeking to prosecute him on corruption charges.
In June 2019, Jared Kushner, Trump’s boyish Middle East adviser (and son-in-law), revealed the Trump administration’s “peace plan” The region was widely seen as making too many concessions to Israel while demanding too many concessions from the Palestinians, and it was burned.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the plan “pointless.” Netanyahu could have written much of it, which he called a “historic breakthrough.”
If Trump returns to the White House, Netanyahu can expect more of the same.
This fearsome duo is in cahoots, and their activities may not be limited to Israel’s borders. Some worry that a dangerous confrontation with Iran will be inevitable.
That worry has been fueled by worries about the ragtag group Trump could amass to lead a second administration.
Some suggest Trump may rehire his national security adviser Michael Flynn,A far right conspiracy theorist Convicted of lying to the FBI about contacts with Russian officials and later pardoned by his former boss.
Who’s to say Kushner won’t come back victorious (financially)?has used his connections in the U.S. government to win Saudi Arabia invests $2 billion in its equity firmKushner sees signs of the dollar in the ruins and suffering in Gaza.
He believes the Israelis should finish clearing the enclave as quickly as possible and build some lucrative projects waterfront property.
“The situation there is a little unfortunate, but from an Israeli perspective, I would try to move people out and clean it up,” Kushner told Harvard scholar Tariq Massoud.
Some The settlers thought the same thing.
While governments and aid agencies were obsessed with the frivolous business of feeding their people and stopping the carnage, Trump’s gang saw an opportunity.
Nothing illustrates the immorality of the Trump-Netanyahu axis more clearly than this. There is no evidence why Israel’s true friends should do everything in their power to prevent its return.
