...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...may shelve its plan to reopen a US diplomatic mission for Paleostinians in Jerusalem after Israel voiced opposition to such a move.The Jerusalem consulate was subsumed into the US Embassy that was moved to the contested city from Tel Aviv in 2018 by the administration of former President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
-- a reversal of US policy hailed by Israel and condemned by Paleostinians.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken this month reiterated Washington’s plan to reopen the consulate as part of efforts to repair Paleostinian ties. He did not give timelines.
"I believe that I have good reason to think this will not happen," Deputy Foreign Minister Idan Roll told Israel’s Ynet TV.
"The Americans understand the political complexity," Roll said. "We have very good relations ... We don’t believe in surprising them. I don’t think they will try to surprise us."
US Embassy spokespeople could not immediately be reached for comment
Israel deems all Jerusalem its undivided capital and says it would not consent to reopening the consulate. The Paleostinians want the city’s east for their own future, hoped-for state.
Reopening the consulate could weaken nationalist Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and undermine his fragile cross-partisan government, Israeli officials have argued.
