Biden babbles as Bibi heads for America

“Jerusalem Minute” with Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten, Ep. 26

(July 15, 2024 / JNS)

Decades of trying and failing to create a Palestinian state have taught U.S. President Joe Biden nothing.

This week, Biden took the opportunity to push the idea on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu once again—as if the Oct. 7 massacre never happened.

The Israeli premier will soon be visiting Washington to address U.S. Congress and promote his vision for a post-war Gaza. Whether or not he will meet with former president and presumptive Republican nominee for the White House Donald Trump remains to be seen.
