The Biden Administration has demanded that the Israeli government drop judicial reform from its agenda in exchange for the normalization of the Jewish State's relations with Saudi Arabia, Channel 12 News reported this evening (Tuesday).

According to the report, the Saudis are demanding the resumption of peace talks with the Palestinian Authority, while the US was the party to raise the demand over the judicial reforms in exchange for mediating the normalization talks.

On Sunday, it was reported that Bahrain had been mediating negotiations between Israel and Saudi Arabia on aspects of normalization, such as allowing direct flights between the two countries.

The current talks centered on allowing Israeli Arabs who wish to participate in the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca to travel directly from Ben Gurion Airport, a move which would not allow non-Muslim citizens of Israel to visit Saudi Arabia.

Ya, Brandon’s done such a great job here, he should be running Israel too. That’s why neither side trusts him in the Middle East.

Makes no sense.

Something stinks.

--- "...demanded...."

How often since the Clinton administration forward has the US government demanded this and demanded that, sponsored color revolutions and more. Four percent of the world's population "demanding" other governments heed its demands is become hubris of a high order.

Of course dems want Israeli Judicial Reform stopped. There is a reason that Judicial Reform is front and center in Israel, and, as always, it is directly connected to hard lefties making up law as they go instead of following established laws.

Judicial Reform in Israel must continue and succeed in order for Israel to continue to exist.

There is ZERO relation between the two. The Joe Biden administration isn’t serious anyways about normalizing relations between Israel and ANY of it’s neighbors. It’s another attempt to bully and intimidate Israel to abandoning needed reforms. And they’re doing this PRECISELY because they know that theses reforms will make Israel stronger.

Joe Biden’s henchlings have a hate on for Israel just the same as the henchlings of Obama.

In Israel, the self-selecting judiciary appears to be the core of the Israeli Deep State.

https://www.jns.org/israels-unique-judicial-selection-method-and-its-shortcomings/

Not only are elected representatives a minority on the panel, but a seven-member majority is needed for selecting a Supreme Court justice. This method gives the Supreme Court justices themselves veto power over the identity of their future colleagues, as no Supreme Court justice can be selected without the consent of current justices on the committee.

A negotiator isn’t needed. The leaders of the two countries are in regular direct communication, as are their defense officials.

The current USA regime is at best worthless anyway, as it has been insulting the leaders in both Jerusalem abs Rhiyad

What the commie- Nazis in the USA Snake Department want us to keep the far leftist court’s chokehold on Israel — it helps having powerful internal operatives well placed in high power positions in nations you want to destroy or cripple

Team Brandon can point to Ukraine/Russia, and Taiwan/China as successful peace negotiations.

At this point, Israel would be better off working with China and Iran, rather than trusting a damn thing coming from the Neocons in DC.

The US no longer has any idea what’s best for its own good so Israel would be foolish to heed their advice.
