Ahead of Biden's visit to Israel, Obama administration is pulling out all the stops to prevent new Jerusalem housing projects.
US Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit Israel next Sunday, and the Obama administration is launching an all-out effort to prevent a repeat of the diplomatic flare-up that marred his previous trip in 2010.
In what is likely to be the last state visit to Israel by a top-level Obama administration official, Biden's visit closes out a rocky relationship between Israel and the White House.
Perhaps the most publicized dispute in that period was the so-called "Ramot Biden" incident in March 2010, when plans for a new housing project in the haredi neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo in Jerusalem were announced while Biden was in Israel promoting talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Biden issued a sharp condemnation of the plans, while then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton berated Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during a 43-minute phone call.
Today, with the memory of the 2010 dustup looming, US officials are pressing Israel not to build in "sensitive" areas of Jerusalem like Gilo, Har Homa, and Pisgat Ze'ev, NRG reported, citing a high-ranking US official on condition of anonymity.
"We don't want another neighborhood in Jerusalem to be called 'Ramot Biden,'" the official said.

Did the Amalakites move to Kenya?
Yeah .
They need the same answer Nehemiah gave the ammonite and the arabian.
(Nehemiah 2:18) Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
(Nehemiah 2:19) But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?
(Nehemiah 2:20) Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
He is part Arab so could very well have Amalekite blood.
