Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman said Thursday that it is "despicable" that U.S. President Joe Biden is refusing to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since the latter's election in November...
Friedman was one of the most consequential ambassadors to Israel in U.S. history, playing a key role in forging the Abraham Accords, a series of peace agreements between Israel and several Arab states in the region.
Friedman blamed the leadership of the American Jewish community for the impasse as well, because it had joined the Israeli left in condemning Netanyahu's proposed judicial reforms, and had not criticized Biden.
In March, Biden declared that he would not meet with Netanyahu, even after the latter suspended his judicial reforms. Biden contradicted U.S. Ambassador Tom Nides, who had promised a meeting as an incentive.
Friedman also commented on the slowdown in peace talks in the region since former President Donald Trump left office, and the Biden administration tried to undo his legacy, refusing to say "Abraham Accords" at first.
While Biden accepted, eventually, that the Abraham Accords were a success, Friedman said that Biden was trying to force the Palestinian issue onto the signatories — even though they had been able to make peace precisely because they had moved beyond the Palestinians' grievances. Biden is trying to replace the Abraham Accords with the "Negev Summit," Friedman says, and emboldening Arab demands of Israel in the process.
He added that Biden had lost the opportunity to advance peace by showing solidarity with Arab countries against Iran, and that Arab nations were moving toward China because of perceptions of U.S. weakness.

Thanks marv.
It’s better this way President Retard is completely corrupt and untrustworthy
He should meet with Harris. She’s the real president.
Even more despicable is the Biden regime’s efforts to overthrow Netanyahu and preserve rule by Israel’s leftist judiciary.
I used to have great respect for Netanyahu, but he sold his countrymen to Pfizer as lab rats and appears to be fully on board with Central Bank Digital Currencies and the Great Reset.
He appears to be just another global depopulationist psychopath.
The American Jewish community VOTED for Biden and continues to heavily vote Democrat, so I guess they own this issue.
Some groups never learn.
Obama’s Orders.
Nah. Barky is the real president. This is his 3rd term.
The demented pedophile is an anti-semite.
Does it matter? It’s not like Biden is running things or capable of negotiating. Such a meeting could only result in embarrassment.
Surprised??
C’mon, Man
This is, after all, the DemoKKKrat Party.
Be surprised at the Sun for shining.
The liberal non-religious Jews did, but not the Orthodox Jews. You can't lump all Jews together.
Well BeBe was the first to congratulate Obiden on his WIN. No sympathy.
In the past, most every nation wanted to be friends with the US. We spread our prosperity, our freedom and our assistance to others.
Then, after WWII, the political class discovered that they can enrich themselves by letting the intelligence agencies stir war all over the world.
The interference in other nations affairs, the promised support that never came and the demands that other nations support US foreign police or face our economic wrath have soured the world on the US.
We are no longer the shining city on the hill.
Our military sucks and has not won a war because winning means an end to conflict. Half-measures and disruptions of regions leads to future conflicts that the political class can benefit from.
Now China is going around the world and assisting nations with infrastructure, power plants, roads, bridges, etc. They are not threatening anyone into compliance.
Meanwhile, the US and Western nations have forced their financial institutions to not fund power plants that could damage the climate while we mine their lands for lithium, cobolt and copper, leaving behind scarred landscapes and trapping the people in poverty.
We are not the good guys anymore.
President? America doesn’t have a president, just a straw man doing the obamian death to America agenda through the hands of the deep state.
The straw man is just a figurehead after Obama’s coup, when he fully weaponized the deep state.
Americans haven’t figured out what happened, but it’s done.
President Trump knows. He’s experiencing it first hand.
*You can’t lump all Jews together.*
Sure you can. 75% vote for the rats whose hate policies are staring them in the face. That’s on par with the gays. Look in the mirror.
Next: Joe Bribem will support Xi and agree with CCP’s stance on the Philistinian “state”.
Great words
Why does Bibi even want to meet with a senile one termer?
