Is Biden selling out Israel in its time of need?

“Israel Undiplomatic” with Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev, Ep. 7

Join JNS senior contributing editor Ruthie Blum and Ambassador Mark Regev, former advisers at the Prime Minister’s Office, go head-to-head on the recent tensions between Israel and the United States, particularly regarding military supplies. They explore the reasons behind Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public criticism of the United States and the potential implications for the relationship between the two countries. Does Washington want Jerusalem to win? Is a diplomatic solution solution even desirable?

“Not even the Wikimedia Foundation knows who any of the editors are on contentious topics,” Daniel Kelley of the Anti-Defamation League told JNS.
The reversal “sends an unfortunate signal at a time of rising antisemitism and sustained efforts to isolate Israel economically,” Evan R. Bernstein, CEO of B’nai B’rith International, told JNS.
Israel’s foreign minister called it a historic day for ties between the two countries and an important day for the capital.
Mark Levine “pledged many times to restore New York City’s investment in Israel Bonds and had it right when he called them ‘a long-term safe and secure investment,’” an Israel Bonds spokesman told JNS.
