Watching Biden land in Tel Aviv

With new Israeli PM Yair Lapid
He’s been ministered recently for cognitive and physical decline. I must say, from skipping down the steps of Airforce One, to his prepared remarks, he seemed remarkably spry. 

LATER: Biden seems to be following the policy of the previous administration without admitting it. The Abraham Accords, without calling it the “Abraham Accords”. Israel making peace with surrounding Sunni states and containing Iran. The BBC reporter instead referred to the “supposed ‘greatest deal in the century’”, mockingly, because of course that was Trump. And then she went straight on to wondering what offers there might be for the Palestinians. Whereas this corrupt and terrorist leadership ought to be ignored. They’ve had countless chances to accept a two state solution and every time refused it. The Accords proved they don’t have the terrorists’ veto.

What Biden and co, and the BBC (Yolanda Knell) dont accept is that the “Two state solution” is dead. Because of the Palestinian leadership itself. Which has made clear the “Three No’s” policy still applies. “No recognition, no negotiation and no peace”. How can that be the basis for anything? Hamas & co want a one state solution: with Israel wiped off the face of the earth. They have made that clear non stop for decades. It’s time we accepted what they say. And reject it.
