Below is my earlier post on another thread indicating what seems to me to be a change.......

In an article today in Al Jazeera, it is noted that Israeli President Herzog is visiting Biden. This is a White House Quote.

“Biden and Herzog will “consult on key issues, including regional and global challenges of mutual concern, opportunities to deepen Israel’s regional integration and ways to advance equal measures of freedom, prosperity and security for both Israelis and Palestinians”, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said.”

also:
the US administration has focused on regional “integration”, advancing a vision of the Middle East where Arab countries cooperate militarily and economically with Israel to ward off perceived common threats, namely Iran.

Those sentences indicate that I am wrong. To me, it indicates a change away from the Obama Iranian nuclear treaty legacy to the Trump Abrams Accord policy both Israel and the regional Arabs are committed to.

The Jerusalem Post says the same in more muted fashion

Anyway, it seems to be a very recent change in the Biden outlook on Iran

The Iranians getting involved in Ukraine, in support of Russia, has changed the game.

Meanwhile Saudi is flirting with brics. I see the same incoherent, short sighted slight of hand I’ve come to expect. There won’t be any epiphany in this administration unless they go to prison. The day after Biden gets what he wants Israel is back to red headed step child status.
