Not one international diplomatic expert has succeeded in explaining the Biden administration's hostility toward Saudi Arabia over the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, who was known to be very hostile to the State of Israel while remaining silent on the execution of Ahwaz opposition figures taking a stand against the ayatollah regime's tyranny in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Such behavior is reminiscent of the behavior of former US President Barack Obama and his administration, which promoted the interests of the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey and Qatar and appeased the ayatollahs in Tehran. 

 

Biden's policy toward America's allies in the Middle East bodes well for Iran, Qatar, and Turkey, as it can potentially put a freeze on the Abraham Accords process and simultaneously provides Iran with an exit strategy for its international isolation by resurrecting a dead deal, which empowered the ayatollahs at the expense of anyone who cares about freedom and human rights. Biden's outbursts against Saudi Arabia and leaks that his associates have been tracking the phone calls of Israeli and Saudi leaders demonstrate contempt and are reminiscent of the Obama era.

It should be stressed that former US President Barack Obama was infamous in Israel for betraying America's allies in the Middle East. During that period, Obama betrayed the Syrian revolution at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's request, which led to the strengthening of radical forces in Syria and the failure of the liberal revolution there, thereby leading to a takeover of the area by Iran and ISIS.

Obama also signed the Iranian nuclear deal, which gave the Iranians breathing room to create a Shia Crescent that spread terror worldwide, creating bases of operations in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq, and enabling them to nevertheless make dangerous progress towards a nuclear bomb, alongside their ballistic missile program.  It also gave the ayatollahs in Tehran the green light to increase their repression of dissidents, as Obama traded in their rights for minor cosmetic changes to the Iranian nuclear program, which would be limited in time and scope and would not be properly enforced regardless.

On the bright side, former US President Donald Trump left behind a great legacy that included the signing of the Abraham Accords and the creation of the Sons of Abraham Alliance that will stand united against a nuclear Iran. This gives us the courage needed to lead the fight against returning to the Iranian nuclear deal, which is the gravest threat to both the State of Israel and the Persian Gulf countries.

The Gulf-Israel coalition has the power to force the Biden administration to reconsider its position, especially because Iran refuses to return to compliance.   They also have the power to thwart the implementation of the worst aspects of Obama's nuclear deal. As far as this coalition is concerned, Israeli consent is critical, and Israel seeks to cut off Iranian arms shipments to Syria, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, and Libya. The US must understand it needs the support of its allies in the region before proceeding with any policy.

A clear message must be conveyed to the Biden administration that after the Obama administration took a series of destructive steps in the region, we have learned, internalized, and implemented various defense mechanisms in case Obama's disastrous policies continue. Thus, we will unite and fight against any moves by Biden that constitute a strategic threat to us, including any sort of concessions to the ayatollahs in Tehran.
