Based on initial statements from the Biden Administration it appears the president has told his State Department he is not spending any political capital to fight the Israel lobby.

The Biden administration may be looking to overturn many of the Trump administration’s policies — but not when it comes to Israel.

You can watch the cable news networks for hours without stumbling across a single report about Iran. Which means that if the U.S. and Israel do attack before 12 noon on January 20, or if a tragic accident amid the tightened tensions in the regions triggers an outbreak of violence, the American public will have no idea of what just happened.

There is only one explanation for the normalization deals between Arab states and Israel: the geopolitical position of Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly traveled to Saudi Arabia on Sunday night for a secret meeting with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo delivered today to Israel two parting gifts of inestimable value on his farewell tour of the Middle East, the importance of which go well beyond his visit to the illegal Israeli colony of Psagot in the Palestinian West Bank. His last-minute moves to further legitimatize Israeli annexation, and delegitimatize opposition to Israel’s apartheid rule over the Palestinian people, will be difficult for the incoming Biden administration to reverse.

PA officials announced on Tuesday that they received assurances that Israel was “committed” to upholding its end of agreements with the Palestinians, and that the decision to resume coordination was made following “international talks” being conducted by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. There is speculation that the impending change in U.S. administrations, along with the severe financial pressure the Palestinian Authority finds itself under, is what motivated Palestinian leadership to resume relations with Israel.

Many Palestinians living under occupation are outraged by the the recent normalization deals between Israel and Arab nations, but are finding very little direction from their leaders on how to fight this latest affront to their freedom struggle.

As the world was engulfed in the unfolding US elections on November 3rd, Israel quietly demolished an entire Bedouin enclave in the northern Jordan Valley, leaving more than 70 Palestinians homeless just as temperatures started to drop in the occupied West Bank.

Yumna Patel, Michael Arria, and Phil Weiss discuss Palestinian views of the U.S. election from the West Bank, what the Palestine solidarity movement should expect under a second Trump term or a Biden presidency, and what to look for on election night and beyond.
