White House spokeswoman Jen Saki Referred tonight (Thursday) during the daily press briefing to the fact that the president Joe Biden He has not yet called the prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. She explained that Biden expects to talk to Netanyahu soon, and that he expects that. One of the leaders Biden has spoken to is Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The head of the diplomacy program at the University of Haifa, Professor Avi Ben Zvi, spoke today (Thursday) with Aryeh Eldad and Roni Bar-On in their program on 103FM. Ben-Zvi addressed the issue of the phone call that has not yet reached US President Joe Biden to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and explained that these are new priorities in the White House. “We are after Mexico and Australia, it is a clear signal to Netanyahu, it is a reckoning of his congressional speech while Biden was vice president.” He said stopping arms deals between the United States and Saudi Arabia is another statement to Israel: “I will not give any chopper that Trump gave before any election.”

What’s going on with the new president and our veteran prime minister?
“We are currently on standby, perhaps the most successful word is new priorities. I mean we are after Mexico and Australia and of course after France and Germany and Canada and more. On the one hand, Biden is not a very sentimental person in these things. On the other hand it is a clear signal to Netanyahu , Not about his visit in 2011, but the congressional speech that Biden was president of Congress as vice president, Iran speech. It seems to me that this is a message to Israel, do not try to repeat the same game because we are going for the soft diplomacy tool. The tremendous unification of the Gulf states and Israel is the causal damage of the matter. “
Ben-Zvi went on to refer to the Abrahamic agreements, and the consequences of stopping the sale of arms deals between the US and Saudi Arabia: All or part of the Abrahamic agreements were based and anchored on American consideration for the Arab players, i.e. arms deals with the Saudis and that is the crown jewel. When there is a delay, a total freeze of arms agreements with the UAE and the Saudis because of Yemen and their bombings, it is a very clear message to Iran. We are essentially disengaging from the Saudis, our allies, the most loyal partner in the same Arab-coalition against Iran. What is clearer than that? This is a new world order. “

America cannot in its economic situation give up on these mighty arms deals. Even if she is angry with Israel.
“This is a wonderful question, it is perhaps the deepest contradiction between moral considerations and national or economic interest. At this moment when in fact Biden is still in his first 100 days it is natural that he will cling to the worldview he represents. Biden will go in the direction of real-political, today He certainly does not want to give Netanyahu what Trump gave him before any election. Here there is a principled position, for example, the Golan Heights are not ruled out but Blinken says there are legal questions and there are security questions. He is not willing to give any choppers on the scale “
