“While Mr. Biden undermines the Netanyahu government, Hamas and other Iranian proxies are gaining power in the West Bank, activating another front against Israel. The new wave of terrorism against Jewish civilians will set back the Palestinian cause but advance Iran’s,” the editorial said. It also criticized Biden for his failure so far to expand the Abraham Accords because of his less than amicable posture toward Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are the prize, but Mr. Biden’s open hostility drove them to hedge their bets by signing a Chinese-brokered deal with Iran instead. Call it Hezbollah’s and Islamic Jihad’s lucky day.”The editorial concluded by saying, “While Tehran escalates its proxy wars and whittles down U.S. nuclear demands, Mr. Biden carries out diplomatic offensives against Saudi Arabia and Israel.”
