The Biden administration, facing an increasingly tough re-election battle this fall, is tacking left in its approach to Israel, hoping to mollify voters angered by its support of Israel's current war...
There's a new joke making the rounds in Israel, concerning the Biden administration's Mideast policy. The punchline is that the White House is worried about a 'two state solution'—just the wrong one. That is, rather than figuring out how to make real, lasting peace between Israel and 'Palestine,' Washington, D.C., is preoccupied with pacifying two other states: Michigan and Arizona.Like all such anecdotes, this one has a ring of truth to it.
Under the parallel misrule of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Hamas, the Palestinian Territories have suffered from a distinct 'failure to thrive' in recent years. In both the West Bank and Gaza, governing authorities have abetted widespread corruption while consistently failing to build a sustainable indigenous economy. Instead, they have relied heavily on international aid, as well as the earnings of the more than 110,000 Palestinians with permits for work in Israel.
