A warming of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia would be a foreign policy win for Biden. But it could undercut the push for a two-state solution – the creation of an independent Palestinian nation alongside Israel – which has been the North Star of a negotiated settlement to the decades-old conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Before the Abraham Accords, Arab nations had been withholding normalization as leverage to push for a Palestinian state and improve Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.
But while the Trump administration considered the accords a substitute for progress on an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, the Biden administration hopes to leverage normalization as a bridge toward progress on the issue, according to Nimrod Novik, a onetime foreign policy adviser to former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres and now a fellow with the Israel Policy Forum, an organization that supports a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

FYI to anyone from a country other than the US…
Rational US citizens are completely embarrassed and disgusted with Biden. He was put in by very rich extremely powerful people to be a mumbling puppet. He is not letting them down, but he is letting us average everyday citizens across the world down.
Please don’t think all of the US is stupid just because this clown was put in to power.
