Blinken Puts More Focus on Palestinians in Call to Israeli Counterpart
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told his Israeli counterpart on Friday that Israelis and Paleostinians should enjoy "equal measures" of freedom, security, prosperity and democracy.
Blinken’s comments reflected more of a focus on the Paleostinians than the pro-Israel policy conducted by US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass. ...
’s Republican predecessor, Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
Blinken made the point in a phone conversation with Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi.
A statement from State Department front man Ned Price said the two leaders discussed regional security challenges, humanitarian assistance to the Paleostinian people, and the normalization of relations with Arab and Moslem majority countries, Rooters reported.
Trump last year helped seal normalization deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Biden has yet to focus heavily on adding more countries to the list. Some Arab countries want to see the long-standing dispute between Israel and the Paleostinians resolved before agreeing to a deal.
"The secretary emphasized the administration’s belief that Israelis and Paleostinians should enjoy equal measures of freedom, security, prosperity, and democracy," Price said.
He said Blinken reiterated the United States’ "strong commitment to Israel and its security and looks forward to strengthening all aspects of the US-Israel partnership."
