Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday praised the Israel-United Arab Emirates peace deal announced by President Trump, but credited efforts of the Obama-Biden administration for the “historic step.
”Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed released a joint statement Thursday after Israel and the UAE agreed to normalize relations.
The statement said that the “diplomatic breakthrough” was at “the request of President Trump,” and that Israel will “suspend declaring sovereignty over areas outlined in the President’s Vision for Peace and focus its efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in the Arab and Muslim world.”
The former vice president praised the move as “a historic step to bridge the deep divides of the Middle East,” calling the UAE’s offer to “publicly recognize the State of Israel is a welcome, brave, and badly-needed act of statesmanship.”
“It is a critical recognition that Israel is a vibrant, integral part of the Middle East that is here to stay,” Biden said. “Israel can and will be a valued strategic and economic partner to all who welcome it.”
Biden, though, said that “the coming together of Israel and Arab states builds on the efforts of multiple administrations to foster a broader Arab-Israeli opening, including the efforts of the Obama-Biden administration to build on the Arab Peace Initiative.”

Biden isn’t wrong, but he’s right in a way that he probably wouldn’t understand even if he was in his right mind. The Obama effort to cozy up to the Iranians brought Israel and the Arabs into a closer partnership because they each saw a common existential enemy and no guarantee that America would step up to protect them. So yes, Obama’s foreign policy was so awful for the middle east it actually brought Israel and Arab countries together.
We did that, and we did that, and we did that, and we did tha,t and we did that nice to say sh## and no one questions you on it
DELUSIONAL!
I don’t think Net and Obama were even talking.
More plagiarizing from the worst candidate ever...
he just can’t stop!
The Very Reason DJT is POTUS is because the piss poor job of Obama-Biden. They don’t understand that the American People have told them What we have been doing has NOT worked. Time for a REAL change
He’s just plagiarizing. It’s easy once you get some experience at it.
Nobody is going to buy Obama did this!
Everything good that ever happened, was either done by a democrat, or initiated by a democrat.
Republicans never get anything done.
All bad things that happened, was either done by a republican or initiated by a republican.
That’s democrat thinking and their useful idiots believe it all.
You beat me to it.
I doubt Obama could have brought Israel to the table to sign anything, let alone a Peace Agreement with an Arab Neighbor. How MUCH money was spent in the Obama Years promoting wars and slaughter, and hardship on people in the Middle East. Add up the countries that burned, and how many refugees were created because ot the policies of Joe Biden.
The Very Reason DJT is POTUS is because the piss poor job of Obama-Biden.
Bimentia is a serial plageriser (sp) in words and now deeds. Disgusting.
...oh, wait...
