NY Times’ Friedman: Biden looking at Israeli-Saudi deal, but Netanyahu must pay price
Ass. Carrying water for the latest Democratic administration, as he has done before. The problem is that land for peace is no longer necessary, not when other countries are eager to have their own Abraham Accords for nothing. In the end the House of Saud will have to choose between joining in or being left behind. [IsraelTimes] New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... columnist Thomas Friedman says US President Joe The Big GuyBiden  ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... has sent several of his top advisers to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... for the latest talks on the possibility of normalizing relations with Israel. Friedman posits that while peace with Riyadh would be a huge coup for Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, any potential deal would include significant Israeli concessions to the Paleostinians, which will be unpalatable to the premier’s far-right allies. He also says the US president is unlikely to allow an accord to move forward so long as Netanyahu and his government continue to advance their judicial overhaul legislation. The columnist, known to have the ear of the US president, thus suggests any progress with the Saudis — which Netanyahu yearns for — will force him to take more moderate positions on multiple fronts, and possibly to part ways with his coalition allies.
