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.”

Give Dr Joe Biden a break. He’s playing Dr, today, and has no clue that 0blama’s not still pResident.
Tell me---would YOU like to have been left alone in the dining room, a head of state, by your host, the American president? Odungo did precisely that to show disrespect to Bibi. Odungo just got up and left the dining room, with Bibi sitting there. A real class act, that one. Not.
I remember that. Disgraceful!

As I've noted before, Obama/Biden are responsible to the extent that their empowering Iran, with billions in cash to foment terror and an open window to nuclear weapons caused the gulf states to realize they needed allies in the region. Obama/Biden pursued a pro-Iran, anti Israel and anti gulf states policy. Anti Egypt and Libya too. And Iraq, and Lebanon and Syria. Their spring sprung, increasing the risk of regional war in the mideast.
Exactly, the North wouldn't have won the Civil War if the Democrat south hadn't seceded. And the civil rights movement of the 50s/60s wouldn't have been necessary were it not for Democrat Jim Crow.
