Amb. David Friedman: Biden’s Hostile-to-Israel Statements/Actions Make Mideast Trip a Failure

By Phil Schneider 

(JULY 19, 2022 / ISRAEL UNWIRED) David Friedman analyzes the Biden trip to Israel. Did Biden accomplish anything on his trip? Would Joe Biden even recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel?

In general, Israel will always treat every President of the United States with utmost respect. However, Joe Biden did not even visit the Western Wall, the most important location of the Jewish people – in the heart of the Jewish nation – Jerusalem.

Then Joe Biden did not recognize Israeli sovereignty over parts of Jerusalem. This is something that unifies nearly 90% of the Israeli population. But Biden went Obama-acting again and took another step more into the land of far-left anti-Israel policy.

But the most important non-action was vis-a-vis Iran. The Acting Prime Minister of Israel, Yair Lapid, clearly asked Joe Biden to articulate a clear red line that would threaten Iran with force. That did not happen. Biden stayed mum. That is yet another Obama policy that Biden has adopted. After all, Obama could spill the beans and end Biden’s presidency if Biden doesn’t follow suit.

Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment. Today, ZOA is the leading major American Jewish organization courageously defending Israel and the Jewish people; fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts; and promoting the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence; presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel; and combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and apply civil rights protections to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's bold, unapologetic voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
