From Virtual Jerusalem: Cabinet tells Biden to shove his diktat where the sun don’t shine
"Ministers slam idea of recognizing Palestinian statehood, say the risk to Israel’s existence is not worth normalization
"Israel’s cabinet has unanimously endorsed a resolution that would reject any 'international diktat' that would seek to impose a solution.
“Israel categorically rejects international diktats around a permanent settlement with the Palestinians,” reads the cabinet decision. 'A settlement, if it is achieved, will come about only through direct negotiations between the sides, with no preconditions.'"
I'm glad they are standing up to Biden, and for themselves!
From Michael Goodwin at the New York Post: Spineless Joe Biden is inching toward a full betrayal of Israel
"Is there a Margaret Thatcher in the house who can help stiffen Joe Biden’s spine?
"The late British prime minister, in a 1990 phone call during the early days of the first Gulf war, famously told a hesitant President George H. W. Bush that it 'was no time to go wobbly.'
"Faced with Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and a shaky re-election campaign, the president isn’t just going wobbly in his support for our embattled ally — he’s inching toward a full betrayal of Israel to appease American radicals.
"His actions and statements are more troubling than those of the officials Thatcher ridiculed as 'faint hearts' or 'drifting with the tide.'
"It is dishonest to defend Biden’s undercutting of Israel as part of some strategic view of how to bring a just and lasting peace to the region.
"His words and actions increasingly have little to do with peace and everything to do with pandering to domestic political critics."
Exactly right. Biden is desperate to hold on to power, no matter how unfit for the job he obviously is, and no matter how much it hurts Israel and helps Hamas. Hopefully the American voters aren't quite as stupid as I think they are, but Israel certainly cannot afford to wait till November to find out.
