The Biden administration has left Israel no choice, in its ongoing quest for survival, but to turn to friendly Arab neighbors who share its concerns about Iran.
The Squad among Democrats in the House of Representatives has influenced American policy against Israel. Israel’s primary defense against rocket fire from Hamas and other jihad groups is the Iron Dome, and American funding for it was temporarily pulled as a result of the Squad’s opposition, sending a loud message to Israel.
The new Iran nuclear deal sends another. Biden failed Israel and surrendered all powers of negotiation to Russia. The latter benefits from the deal, cashing in on a $10 billion contract to build nuclear sites in Iran.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu referenced the deal as “disastrous” and said that it gives Iran “hundreds of billions of dollars which they [Iran] will use for terror and aggression.”
As Israel deepens the partnerships formed via the Abraham Accords, Netanyahu credited Donald Trump’s “breakthrough in finding a path to peace in the historically troubled region.”
“Netanyahu Calls to Oppose ‘Dangerous’ Iran Deal, Warns Blinken Making ‘Big Mistake,’” by Joshua Klein, Breitbart, March 29, 2022:
An impending nuclear deal with Iran currently being pushed by the Biden administration would grant the Islamic Republic hundreds of billions of dollars to be used for “terror and aggression” and wouldn’t avert its attaining of nuclear weapons, warned Israeli opposition leader and former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who called to oppose the agreement that poses real danger to the U.S., Israel and the world, claiming top US diplomat Antony Blinken was “making a big mistake.”
In a video statement he shared on Twitter Sunday, Netanyahu — speaking in English — called the arrival in Israel of Arab foreign ministers “a welcome thing,” as top Arab diplomats of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Egypt gathered at a historic summit together with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid in the Jewish state.
Netanyahu called the meeting “a direct result of the Abraham Accords, which we brought,” in reference to the public normalization of relations between Arab countries and Israel due to former President Donald Trump’s breakthrough in finding a path to peace in the historically troubled region.
Noting that he had previously met the visiting ministers, the former Israeli prime minister said that strengthening the accords is “a good thing for peace” and Israel, before turning his attention to Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“Having said that, I strongly disagree with Secretary of State Antony Blinken,” Netanyahu said. “I respect him personally but I think he’s making a big mistake.”
Netanyahu explained how a renewal of the Iran deal would boost the theocratic state’s deadly capabilities.
“Iran without the nuclear agreement is a poor country, an isolated country, a country that has no international legitimacy, and no immunity from the military option,” he said.
“[However,] Iran with a nuclear agreement becomes a rich country with hundreds of billions of dollars which they will use for terror and aggression; a country that breaks through the international isolation and receives immunity for military action,” he added.
He also warned of them of the worldwide dangers posed by a richer and more capable Iran.
“This agreement is dangerous for Israel, for the United States, and for the entire world,” he said. “It doesn’t prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons or the means to deliver them to the United States and to Europe because they are allowed under the agreement to develop the ballistic missiles that can deliver atomic warheads.”
Netanyahu concluded by calling on all who seek peace and security to oppose efforts to renew the deal.
“So this agreement has to be opposed and that’s what I expect from the Israeli government and all people who are concerned with the security and peace of the world to do,” he said. “Oppose this agreement now.”…
Kesselman says
On all levels, the Biden regime falls through. The Democrats, wrongheaded as they are, furthermore get influenced by far-left ignorants whose capacity for reading intel on various levels in English is strongly limited—to say it politely.
commonsense says
Biden and his cabinet of incompetents comprise the worst administration in U.S. history. He and his appointees need to be removed NOW, with our country on a trajectory tantamount to a death spiral. But Republicans and sane Democrats, if any of the latter actually exist, are insufficiently concerned, else a serious effort would be under way to impeach this miserable pretender to the office of President, who, in addition to repeatedly demonstrating impaired cognitive functioning, has not only violated his oath to uphold the Constitution but has also repeatedly displayed depraved indifference to the well-being of American citizens through his disastrous policies on energy, national security, economics, and just about everything else imaginable. And let’s not forget the belatedly reported, almost certainly true allegations of corruption, influence peddling, and racketeering, all of which involve his son and brother as well and cross over into actual treason. The evidence for his inability to continue as president continues to increase but is already incontrovertible. Yet nothing is happening. We keep hearing “Just wait until November – We’ll show ’em!” Damn it, we can’t wait ’til then. He needed to go the day after his inauguration, if not before.
