Biden Makes History: First President in 40 Years to Punt on Contacting Israel (freebeacon.com) First President in 40 Years to Punt on Contacting Israel
White House doesn't list Israel as American ally
12 Feb 2021 ~~ By Adam Kredo
President Joe Biden is the first American leader in 40 years not to contact Israel’s leaders as one of his first actions in the White House, setting up what could be four years of chilly relations between America and its top Middle East ally.
Biden has already phoned multiple world leaders, including Russian president Vladimir Putin and Chinese president Xi Jinping, but during his 23 days in office has yet to speak with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu—making Biden the first president in modern history to punt on bolstering U.S.-Israel relations during his initial days in office. Every president going back to at least Ronald Reagan in 1981 made contact with their Israeli counterpart within a week of assuming office, according to a review of news reports.
Congressional foreign policy leaders slammed Biden’s Netanyahu snub, prompting a flurry of questions for White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who has declined to disclose when or if Biden will call the Israeli leader. Psaki also said on Friday the White House would not list Israel as a U.S. ally when asked about the relationship during her daily press briefing.

President Donald Trump not only called Netanyahu but made the historic decision to invite him to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 22, 2017, two days after he took the oath of office.
GOP leaders on the House Foreign Affairs Committee raised multiple concerns with Biden’s refusal to express support for Israel with a phone call.

Rep. Ronny Jackson (R., Texas), another HFAC member, asked, "What is President Biden avoiding?"
"The American-Israeli relationship is vital to our national security for a litany of reasons," Jackson told the Free Beacon. "I urge President Biden to ignore the radical left in his party and make a strong show of support for our partnership with Israel by calling Prime Minister Netanyahu."
Comment:
Come On Man!! Joey Xi probably just forgot that Israel even exists. His "Handlers' won't tell him. It might have been different if they had given his crack head son a cushy, no-show seat on the board of one of their major companies. But they didn’t.
Just more proof that this is a fake presidency. It would surprise me one bit if Joey Xi stopped the construction of the new Embassy in Jerusalem. Does China Joey Xi even know that he is playing president?
Unfortunately the majority of the Jewish vote will still go to the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrats, just as it did in the last election. The words come to mind, “When will they ever learn” as they too will be marched to the "Reeducation Camps".
On the other hand, Joey Xi is told by his handlers they're trying to maintain plausible deniability with the Iranians after the next Israeli strike on Iranian nuke facilities/masterminds.
Why they would do that is beyond me, but it’s typical two-faced PM/DSA leftist twisting between that hopey/changey thing and reality.
