Biden smells that the charm of the leader of the fanatical sect that is trying to overthrow the regime in Israel - is fading

עיתון בין אויבים

A newspaper among enemies

For three previous events, America is now exacting a price from Benjamin Netanyahu. The first is his war-only policy towards Iran, which for three decades led the terrorist state to the brink of nuclear power, and the US to its current chaotic policy in the Middle East. Of course, only America bears the responsibility for its policy, but Netanyahu may still deepen the chaos in the present, and therefore he will pay for the past. The second event is the Israeli political behavior that led President Trump to cancel the nuclear agreement and led America to be practically a power torn apart in the Middle East, a continent where its power was deeply expressed in the past. Now America is trying to regain its position in the Middle East, and Biden is clearing the table of the policies that Bibi influenced, as he calls him. The cancellation of the nuclear agreement also led to the entry of China into the Middle East.

The third event on which Biden is now exacting a price from Netanyahu is the speech delivered by an arrogant and disconnected prime minister in Congress over President Obama's head. Biden was Obama's deputy during his eight years in office. Many say that countries, and even more so superpowers, do not deal with feelings. These are of course nonsense from the land of nonsense. States deal with nothing but feelings, and all their policies ultimately come to satisfy the political feelings that were once hurt. In other words, countries are looking for the moment when the political interest will allow them to carry out their revenge. Machiavelli explained this by saying that the prince and the princely state must rule to survive. As we all know, there is no government more present than revenge.

Now Biden has found the right timing in terms of foreign relations to collect payment from Bibi. The first interest, Biden wants an agreement with Iran, otherwise things will lead to a conflict in the Middle East at a time that America will not choose. In order to achieve an agreement, Biden needs to push Netanyahu and his war-only policy out of any influence on American public opinion, and in this context, canceling Netanyahu's express visa to the White House and the American Congress takes on meaning. If Netanyahu still tries to bypass Biden, Israel's foreign relations with the US will be irreparably damaged. Someone needs to tell the head of the sect that.

However, it should be said that perhaps the horses have already fled the stable, and America can no longer reach an agreement with Iran. But the pleasure of closing an account with Bibi, Biden will not drop; The reality with Russia in Ukraine does not make Putin want to free America from the trouble in the Middle East, and China also wants to continue to deepen the rift between Israel and its enemies so that it can be a fair mediator in the future. Iran boasts that the sanctions against it did not work, and the country is developing rapidly in defense production and science, as well as good economic data. The internal situation in Iran is also calmer now, although the internal anger in the country remains and even grew stronger. It is therefore possible that the interest of the Eastern Axis is not to sign an agreement with the US. The answer to this will be known in the coming weeks.

Biden's second interest is the internal reality in Israel towards Netanyahu, which makes it clear that he raised most of the Israeli public against him when he joined the fascist sect from the extreme right, to overthrow the regime in Israel. In this sense, Biden is helping the public in Israel, when he is trying to prevent the country from becoming a dictatorship that will oblige America to fundamentally change its policy in the Middle East, and at the same time he is also putting Bibi on the debts of the past while demonstratively charging him for the present.  And all this Biden does with the small effort of canceling Benjamin Nitai's visa to America. not a problem
