Video: Has Washington Turned Its Back on the Middle East
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs-JNS) Malcolm Hoenlein interviewed by Dan Diker - Although the American leadership still has geopolitical interests in the region, Americans have sent the wrong signals. This includes President Biden's intentional diplomatic omission in not inviting Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House, Malcolm Hoenlein, vice chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told Jerusalem Center President Dan Diker. Contrary to its stated objectives, in the Middle East the U.S. appears to passively support the Iranian regime, while the Iranian regime continues to oppress and kill its own citizens. "There's only one message that ayatollahs understand, and that is strength. They probe for weakness, that's what dictators do. And where they find weakness, they exploit it."
