WILMINGTON, Delaware — Joe Biden is calling the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates “a historic step to bridge the deep divides of the Middle East.”

The former vice president and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee issued a statement on Thursday, calling the agreement that the UAE publicly recognize Israel “a welcome, brave, and badly-needed act of statesmanship” and a “critical recognition that Israel is a vibrant, integral part of the Middle East that is here to stay.”

Biden also said that West Bank annexation by Israel “would be a body blow to the cause of peace, which is why I oppose it now and would oppose it as president” if he’s elected when the U.S. votes in November. He said that as president, he’d seek to foster a two-state solution in the Middle East.

Biden also said the accord shows “the role American democracy can play” and “builds on efforts of multiple administrations,” including President Barack Obama’s. But he did not mention the Trump White House by name.

Biden said he’d spent time with UAE leaders as vice president and “I am gratified by today’s announcement.”

The fact that Biden, J-Street, the UN and all the wrong people are applauding this deal should demonstrate that its a stinker as far as Israel is concerned. It is a grave and terrible mistake to trade Jewish Homeland for the promise of peace on a piece of paper. How have the other Land for Peace deals with muslims worked out Mr Netanyahu? Was Gaza a great success? or how about Southern Lebanon? The last I heard these territories are basically launchpads for ordnance. This business of trading parts of Israel for some worthless promise of peace and co-operation with muslims is appalling and humiliating. Lets not forget that according to all Torah opinion, the entire West Bank is part of Israel, so trading any part of it for pieces of silver or a piece of paper or indeed trading it for anything at all is a very bad mistake, an terrible mistake. OK so you will say its just a suspension of the application for sovereignty, but in reality it is another demonstration that Netanyahu and those in power lack sufficient faith and trust in G-d, so simply bend to the will of America. Apparently Trump brokered this deal, so I say “so what if he looses in November!” At least that will end his arrogant meddling in Jewish affairs. Its the same every time. American Presidents show a few fig leaves to Israel to build trust and get them on board and then spend the remainder of their time in office shafting and betraying the Jewish people. I for one would rather have he West Bank as part of Israel right now than a piece of paper signed by some UEA sheikh

The loathesome pair of Biden/Harris attack Trump on corona , when the Democratic states of NY NJ account for 2/3 of the deaths in the US , run by lunatic governors and mayors who still force lockdowns. A president does not order states how to deal with mas.ks, lockdowns etc…
Try to read Betsy McCaughey’s article in the NYpost today detailing the stats of Democrat states and how they failed millions of their citizens , and when will fake reporters ask this duo to back up their accusations ??
When will they face a live press and live questions ?

You forgot to mention that these lockdowns destroyed 50% of black owned businesses. The corrupt fake media will never report that, and the punk reporters will never ask the Dem ticket about it.
The coup continues.

Biden’s Obama let pass the UN resolution declaring Jerusalem and pre ’67 land NOT legal under Israeli control.
After that, Joe found himself in the Oval Office with 4 others including Hussein discussing the overthrow of the newly elected president.
Now , throw in Kamala and you have a putrid stink pile stenching up our country .

President Dreck Obamination had nothing to do with this, the same way that Muslim anti Israel jew hater had nothing to do with moving the embassy. he had 8 years to do the right thing. Only the great leader President Donald J Tump had the courage to right a terrible injustice to Israel and the Jewish people.

The racial divide we’re experiencing , the delegitimizaion of white Americans, and religious citizens , all began with Obumu/Biden .
But don’t blame Joe for his lies today:
They were scripted by his gang of hoodlums so he can read from a teleprompter.
Kamala is running for president.

That’s right !
The American people want to see Biden doing a live press conference on primetime news and hardball questions for about an hour.
We don ‘t need a debate.
We want to see if this has-been is mentally fit to be president.
Enough of hidin’ Biden.
Show up like a man and face 300,000,000 Americans or be gone.
