Responsibility for the Latest Upsurge in Arab-Israeli Violence Goes to US President Joe Biden
2021-05-18
[Gatestone] Full responsibility for the latest upsurge in Arab-Israeli violence goes to US President Joe Biden as a result of the policies of appeasement and capitulation he has pursued in the Middle East.

When Mr Biden took office in January, the Middle East was enjoying one of its rare moments of optimism, mainly due to the successful approach adopted by his predecessor, President Donald J. Trump.

The Trump administration achieved a number of undisputed policy successes in the region, which included persuading several Arab and Muslim countries -- the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, Kosovo and Morocco -- to sign the Abraham Accords with Israel, thereby bringing decades of hostility to an end. In addition the Islamist supporters of ISIS were completely routed as a result of the US-led military coalition's destruction of their so-called Caliphate, while Iran's ability to undermine political stability in the Middle East had been severely curbed by the Trump administration's punitive sanctions against the regime. Even Mr Trump's harshest critics had to concede that, when it came to the Middle East, the Trump era had been a success.

Rather than building on the promising legacy he inherited from his predecessor, however, Mr Biden has instead sought to distance himself from the achievements of the Trump administration.

#2   just a perception of weakness. Provided by Israel's 4 elections.

AH HAH!! So you’re saying that Netanyahu did it on purpose to drive the Arabs (both Palestinians and Arab-Israelis) to shoot themselves in their collective foot in front of the entire world?
