Biden Administration Shows "Disinterest" in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
(Media Line) Mohammad Al-Kassim - Former Israeli ambassador to Washington Danny Ayalon said at this point there is "disinterest" in the Biden administration in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "Certainly, it's not as high on the agenda as it was for the Obama administration." There is a "tactical shift to aid the Palestinians, but other than that the U.S. has much bigger fish to fry with other U.S. concerns around the world." Ayalon noted that in the Democratic Party, "There are progressive elements whose policy toward Israel may be not the friendliest, but they remain a minority, and the mainstream Democratic Party which Biden and [Secretary of State] Blinken are part of, they would not see any change in what they call the defense cooperation."
