Episode Synopsis

Host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down President Biden's stunning silence towards the leader of America's closest ally in the Middle East. Biden has now been in office for three weeks and STILL has not spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even though he has spoken to the leaders of other key U.S. allies like Britain, Canada and South Korea. What is behind Biden's radio silence towards Netanyahu--not to mention towards Sunni Arab nations like Egypt and Saudi Arabia that are aligned with Israel against Iran? Is it old-fashioned pettiness, ideology (distance the U.S. from Israel and re-enter the disastrous Iran nuclear deal) or a combination of both? And will the next four years under Biden amount to a third Obama term when it comes to the U.S/ISrael relationship?
