Biden Makes History: First President in 40 Years to Punt on Contacting Israel

White House doesn't list Israel as American ally

President Joe Biden is the first American leader in 40 years not to contact Israel’s leaders as one of his first actions in the White House, setting up what could be four years of chilly relations between America and its top Middle East ally.

Biden has already phoned multiple world leaders, including Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese president Xi Jinping, but during his 23 days in office has yet to speak with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—making Biden the first president in modern history to punt on bolstering U.S.-Israel relations during his initial days in office. Every president going back to at least Ronald Reagan in 1981 made contact with their Israeli counterpart within a week of assuming office, according to a review of news reports.

Congressional foreign policy leaders slammed Biden’s Netanyahu snub, prompting a flurry of questions for White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who has declined to disclose when or if Biden will call the Israeli leader. Psaki also said on Friday the White House would not list Israel as a U.S. ally when asked about the relationship during her daily press briefing.

He’s probably calling them and reading some brief scripted remarks about how thrilled he is to be “working with them on our shared values for the good of humanity around the globe”.

[He probably just forgot that Israel even exists.]

That could be. Joe probably thinks it’s 1929 and Franklin Roosevelt just went on TV to talk about “the princes of greed” and the stock market crash of that year. Joe had been listening to a phonograph.

Since Israel wasn’t yet again a nation in 1929 and Resolution 181 hadn’t occurred, Joe would have no idea they’re even there!

[The U.S. and Israel are the last TWO dominoes that MUST FALL so that a NEW WORLD ORDER can prevail.]

That is correct. I’ve been saying the same thing.

Once the U.S.A. falls, then it’s the NWO vs. Israel. Oh, they’ll give Israel a 7-year peace plan; confirmed by the Antichrist.

In the middle of that, after 1,260 days, the Antichrist will break the covenant, declare himself to be “god” and the false prophet will demand worship of his image. Then shall be Great Tribulation.

[It is fearful thing to appose the will of God.]

Maybe Biden will say “Inshallah” again? (not knowing he’s serving the god of this world).

Yes. If Israel’s enemies knew the United States stood with Israel, and would provide intelligence and logistical help (no troops) then it might cause those enemies to hesitate. As it now stands, no pushback will be expected from the US even if Israel’s enemies target civilians. Also, these countries and terrorist groups assume that if things don’t go well for them, the US and other “concerned” countries will run to the UN to sanction Israel and force it to stop. So, yes, it does make a difference.
