23 days in office Biden has yet to speak with Israeli prime minister

[rayg]

Called others and Israeli is our strongest ally in that area..

23 days in office has yet to speak with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—making Biden the FIRST president in modern history to punt on bolstering U.S.-Israel relations during his initial days in office. Every president going back to at least Ronald Reagan in 1981 made contact with their Israeli counterpart within a WEEK of assuming office, according to a review of news reports.

You should fully read the article you posted..

It was only 12 hrs but is was only the News called it for Biden right away and the vote counting was still going on and it had to be confirmed.
However 23 days in office and Biden had yet to speak with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu

President Joe Biden is the first American leader in 40 years not to contact Israel’s leaders as one of his first actions in the White House

So where does it say in the Constitution that the US must kiss Bibi’s butt at his convenience. The US has a right to pursue foreign policy in its own interest. Bibi interferes in US elections on a regular basis. We are not a client state of Israel.

You clearly did not read the entire article, just the bits that you thought reinforced your point. Bibi was warned by his own countrymen that he was being dumb, but being Bibi he refused to listen.

In fact Bibi made Israel a Client State of Trump. Judeo-Christian Millennialism is now a fixture in both Bibi's and Trump's brands of identity politics.

Hey.....follow the money, right?

Who sends who a big foreign aid check every year?

Who ought to be phoning who to make sure that everything is cool?

If the stuff you are reading can't even figure that much out Ray, then you're reading the wrong stuff!

So Biden is too busy to call? Damn right!

don't you have to read the entire article to pull out the bits,,,,

that seems kinda clear,


and the article mentioned a ton of tweets, and also deflection of questions from Trump,,

so who is now picking out the bits or not reading?

Thanks, I just couldn't find it listed!.....

Biden Administration supports the new location of the US Embassy in Jerusalem. Clear enough message I'd say.

Other than that, this is just red meat for the religious fundamentalists in this country to whine over. Don't worry about it.

Just a query ... Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu .... what's he ever done for you?

On the the other hand our real friends like Australia, Canada etc were insulted and ridiculed by the previous administration... no one here made a peep.

p.s. ... not a peep even from those who served overseas with our allies

P.S.S. ...... doesn't Bibi have a phone ?
