Trump may never receive credit from the left for bringing more peace to the middle east
Tomorrow, President Joe Biden will travel to Israel. I believe all Americans should root for his success. However, success will be more difficult to achieve because it hasn’t yet been defined by his administration. I had the honor of working for David Friedman, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, and Jared Kushner, former senior adviser to the president. With them, there was never any doubt about what success entailed. The only challenge was how to achieve it as efficiently and effectively as possible.Unfortunately, that's hardly been the case, and neither Biden nor any of the rest of his faux-government staff have shown any interest in retaining the positions that Trump worked hard to bring about, seeing how they're hell-bent on reopening the US consulate in east Jerusalem for the sake of servicing PLO representatives and their twisted Islamic beliefs. That they're opposed to building homes for Jews in Judea/Samaria only worsens the issue.
President Trump’s senior policy team consistently went against conventional wisdom, because that conventional wisdom was wrong. Breaking with that long-standing complacency led to the historic Abraham Accords. Biden can and should invest and expand the Abraham Accords. To do that, he and his own team must not revert to outmoded thinking. One way Biden could show he is leading the region into the future — instead of being handcuffed by the past — would be to go to the Western Wall with the president of Israel, Isaac Herzog.
That's just one reason why few will root for Biden in any event. If he's unpopular in the USA based on his disastrous policies when it comes to the home borders, for example, why should anybody want to root for him in overseas affairs?
And the worst thing is that the left will never give Trump any genuine credit for all the hard work he did to bring about positive change in the middle east, for Israel's benefit or any other country. That's surely one of the saddest things about the current situation.
