Biden and Harris claim to be friends of Israel

 

I was surprised to learn that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both purport to be friends of Israel.   Biden holds the view that the American Embassy must remain in Jerusalem.  He is to have said, “I’ve been a proud supporter of a secure, democratic Jewish state of Israel my entire life,” and added, “My administration will urge both sides to take steps to keep the prospect of a two-state solution alive.”  Harris, whose husband is Jewish, has stated, “I stand with Israel both because of our shared values, which are so fundamental to the founding of both our nations and I believe the bonds between the people of the United States and the people of Israel are unbreakable….” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Reuven Rivlin, and Rabbi Yehudah Glick acknowledged the elected US president and vice-president.  Glick prayed for Biden and Harris on the Temple Mount on Sunday.
