Israel’s High Door in the White House – Everyone’s the Same!

No two people disagree about the fact that the Democratic and Republican parties identify in their positions towards Israel. The positions, although they changed shape with the succession of presidents, are still aimed at protecting the most important US coalition in the region. By many accounts, President Donald Trump has gone further in supporting Israel than any American president who preceded him in the White House. Freed from the restraints that handcuffed his predecessors, he paved the way – intentionally or unintentionally – for his potential successor, Joe Biden, who will not be forced to carry the weight of decisions that he did not make, but at the same time , will not oppose them, by not recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of the entity and moving the US embassy. For her, but the most brilliant example in this regard. These were the first indications of Trump’s policy in the region, and an introduction to a plan that would be revealed successively, beginning with the economic part that was announced by Bahrain in the middle of last year, and not ending with the last politician whose provisions were revealed earlier this year, kicking off the normalization ceremony inaugurated by the United Arab Emirates with the blessing of Saudi Arabia, before joining. Out of Bahrain in a hurry. To this end, the White House today attends a celebration that culminates in this path, after the Trump administration managed to create the necessary conditions for the approval of the “Abraham Accords” in the appropriate time and format for its electoral calculations.

The US president may claim that he has achieved a most desperate “achievement” given the decline in the signs leading to the possibility of his re-election for a second term, but he was not alone in that. Since there is evidence that Joe Biden – assuming he is the next president – may also be related to this agreement, regarding the position proposed in the annexation plan (practically postponing it without demanding that he be abandoned pending the result of the elections of November). The Democratic candidate is opposed. The UAE, as well as Israel, must have read opinion polls in America and realized that they are now favoring Biden, and there is even a chance that Democrats will regain control of the Senate, who in turn they are outraged at Riyadh and with him at Abu Dhabi in the context of the Yemen war and the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi. If Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decides to move on to annex parts of the West Bank in the coming weeks, his government will start its relationship with a new (potentially) democratic administration off to a bad start, even if Biden’s positions seem pleasant to Israel with regarding issues related to the Palestinian conflict. Israeli. The Brookings Institution believes that the “Abraham Accords” helped Netanyahu justify suspending the annexation plan to his far-right supporters, although he was already moving in that direction anyway, and this is due to the possibility of That the Democrats win in the next elections, and not because the United Arab Emirates or Bahrain has established conditions for the normalization of relations. However, the shares of Abu Dhabi and Manama appear to be high in the US administration as they helped the White House achieve tangible foreign policy success in the final months of the election campaign, especially in light of the Trump’s need for a float that could be used to halt the progress of his rival Biden.

Israel and the United Arab Emirates realize that opinion polls are now tipping the scales in favor of Joe Biden in the presidential election.

The latter is said to have told the same story whenever he needed to emphasize his commitment to Israel’s security. It was during the 2008 Democratic primary, while he was running against Obama, and then in the general election when he was running alongside him. The story begins by saying that Biden knew “every Israeli prime ministers since Golda Meir”, before speaking about their meeting in 1973, when the latter told him that Israel had “a secret weapon.” When she thought she knew a “secret,” she said, “Our secret weapon, Senator, is that we have nowhere else to go.” The last time she told this story, in April 2015, she began her speech by introducing herself: “My name is Joe Biden and everyone knows that I love Israel.” However, the possibility of Biden winning raises concern among Israelis, because Joe has two flaws: the first is that he is not Trump, and the second is that he is a Democrat. But some experts believe that his victory will be welcomed by the Israeli political and military establishment. His position record dates back to before the start of tensions in the Obama administration years; He supported the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel two decades before Trump did, and also supported a bill passed by the Senate in 1995 to establish a U.S. embassy in Jerusalem by 1999, while his campaign claims that if he is elected president, the embassy he transferred will not return to Tel Aviv. Trump is in Jerusalem, but will reopen a consulate in East Jerusalem to “communicate with the Palestinians.”
For all this, the relations between Israel and the United States go beyond those that sit in the presidency. And if Trump has gone too far in his support for Israel, to satisfy his voter base of evangelical Christians who regard Israeli hegemony over the Holy Land as a matter of divine patronage, Biden will not take any steps that upset his country’s ally. .
