Biden Administration Reviewing Whether Israel, Saudi Arabia Are ‘Important Allies’
The Epoch Times ^ | FEBRUARY 13, 2021 | ZACHARY STIEBER

President Joe Biden’s administration is looking into whether Israel and Saudi Arabia are important allies for the United States, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki.

Asked Friday whether the administration considers them “important allies,” Psaki said the Biden administration is involved in “ongoing processes and internal interagency processes” to discuss Middle Eastern issues.

“We’ve only been here three and a half weeks, and I think I’m going to let those policy processes see themselves through before we give, kind of, a complete laydown of what our national security approaches will be to a range of issues,” Psaki added.

Biden also has not yet called his counterpart, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the White House is not sure when he will do so.

Some analysts feel the lack of a call signals a shift in foreign policy priorities with the new administration, as Israel’s former ambassador to the United Nations wrote on Twitter directly to Biden asking when a call was coming.

Israel’s ambassador to the United States said recently that Netanyahu “is not worried about the timing of the conversation.”

“He hasn’t reached the Middle East yet,” Netanyahu told reporters on Monday, news outlets reported.

Biden has called a number of foreign leaders since entering office, including the leaders of China, Mexico, and Russia.

Now ask Psaki if the Palestinians are important allies?

I just hope Israel and Saudi Arabia understand that Biden doesn’t represent us. He represents Dominion.

Man as the leader of the information creation arm of the White House that is a easy as they get question.

Sending any signal that Israel and house of Saudi are anything other than tight buddies with multiple support treaties with the US could start world war 3.

They are evil and embrace evil.

Undo all of Trump’s foreign policy gains and call it victory.

Does this mean Jao Bai Din has already decided that China IS an important ally?

Putting up with these wankers, has got to make our allies
uneasy.

These putzes are destroying trust in our nation, around the
world.

This is what happens when she is unsure if she’s supposed to lie about this (likely) or if she’s unsure about which lie she’s supposed to tell or both.

Wall Street and Madison Avenue are about to find out what they unleashed when they picked an economy killing ideology (Where I guess they were blinded or something) over some guy that hurt people's feelings via Tweets.

Saudi props up/promotes the petrodollar, this is going to be a ridiculous amount of interesting times ahead.

Three countries who do not have our best interests at heart.

It would be a hilarious sequence —

- China RICO fraud puppet “Buyden” opens mouth...

- Saudi Arabia shuts pipe...

- $20 dollar per gallon gasoline across Europe

- European leaders try to figure out how to get rid of the Harris/Buyden fraud they fraudulently worked to place into US office.

Trump likes Israel - new president hates Israel
Trump hates Iran - new president loves Iran
Trump likes Saudi Arabia - new president hates Saudi Arabia
Trump likes Russia - new president hates - oh wait - we need their bribe money so “hate” is a very strong word!!

Do we know where Trump stands on Ukraine? Let’s hold up on that one for awhile as there are still sheep to be shorn there..

Are there any grownups in that administration or are they always at recess playing - “did not”, “did too”.....

Long delay to play itself out for Israel and Saudi Arabia but
instant, just add water, solutions for dozens of reckless executive orders to take away pipeline and fracking jobs, raise gas prices, bow to restrictions from Paris Accords, and let in terrorists with gang members, sex traffickers and everyday illegals applying to welfare at the border. That stuff is ready to serve. Instant.
