How odd that a foreign policy speech by a US president didn t mention Israel

It seems that US President Joe Biden will adopt the default Democrat foreign policy that is camouflaged by human rights, democratic values, respect, the rejection of racism, and so on.

Such camouflage, therefore, is probably closer to being the actor s makeup that runs at the first sign of blood, sweat, or tears.
Despite a collapsing Lebanese economy and considerable political turmoil, Hezbollah continues to threaten Israel. These threats must be taken seriously,.
But there are always ups and downs in a relationship, and it’s the long-term trend that really counts. It therefore appears that it’s a question of when, not if, Riyadh will take the next step toward full normalization.
To see why that is the case, it’s worth taking stock of the strategic tidal shift that has washed through the Middle East in the past decade. Two meetings held between myself and Saudi princes help illustrate this geopolitical revolution.
Cairo: Malta has said it is investigating embezzlement claims against former Saudi official Saad Al Jabri, who has recently become a Maltese citizen.
Saudi state companies have accused Al Jabri, a former security advisor, of embezzling billions of dollars during his 17-year work at the Interior Ministry.
A-Jabri appeared on the most recently published list of new Maltese citizens after buying a passport through a controversial scheme, Times of Malta newspaper reported.
In October, the European Commission initiated “infringement procedures” against Malta on the scheme arguing that citizenship in return for a pre-determined payment or investment makes the passport buyer automatically a European Union citizen.

The Line is an approximately 160 kilometer (100 mile) strip that is to link the white Red Sea beaches to the mountains. Somewhat autonomous communities will be built along its length, or as the video puts it, there will be “modules” providing all of the residents’ needs. The anticipated cost of the Line is also fantastic – between $150 billion and $200 billion – out of a $500 billion total budget for Neom, an acronym combining the Latin prefix “neo” and Arabic “mustaqbal,” in other words, “new future.”
