Don Jose Biden in Israel: Facing Israeli Settlers or Iranian Windmills?..............
“Vice President Joe Biden began a visit to Israel and the West Bank on Monday, assuring Israelis in a newspaper interview that Washington would close ranks with them against any threat from a nuclear-armed Iran. Biden, the most senior U.S. official to visit Israel since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009, is widely expected to caution his hosts not to attack Iran pre-emptively while world powers pursue fresh sanctions against Tehran…….”
I suspect his visit is not really about iran. It is largely about the newly announced settlement building that widens the gap between the Israelis and Palestinians. Or maybe the Likud & allies think the expansions will scare the hell out of the Arab oligarchs and push them to squeeze the PA.
