Yesterday I posed this question:
Why was the Twitter account of the Ambassador to Israel suddenly changed to something else?
After claiming that he would “repair our alliances with other countries” (that he mistakenly thinks Trump damaged), Biden signals he will destroy the strong alliance we have with the state of Israel, made significantly stronger during the Trump administration.
Daily Wire The new Biden administration appeared to signal a shift in U.S. policy towards Israel on Wednesday immediately following Joe Biden being sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.
The Biden administration changed the name of the U.S. Ambassador to Israel’s Twitter account to state, “the official Twitter account of the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza,” which marks a shift away from the Trump administration’s pro-Israel policies.
“The change in title marks a significant shift in policy toward Israel,” The Washington Free Beacon reported. “The United States has for decades declined to take a policy position on the West Bank and Gaza territories, maintaining the Israelis and the Palestinians must decide in negotiations how the areas will be split up for a future Palestinian state.
By including Gaza and the West Bank in the ambassador’s portfolio, the Biden administration appears to be determining that neither area is part of Israel—a move that is certain to rile Israeli leaders,” the outlet continued. “The incoming administration’s move also signals that it will elevate the next ambassador’s role to include conducting direct diplomacy with Palestinian leaders, including in the Gaza Strip, where the Hamas terror group maintains control. This is the only ambassador tasked with conducting diplomacy in a region controlled by a U.S.-designated terror group.”
The move by Biden came just shortly after he said during his inauguration speech that he would “repair our alliances and engage with the world once again.” Israel is largely considered to be one of America’s greatest allies and the top U.S. ally in the region.
Critics immediately began pushing back on the move on social media and commentators noted that it likely signaled a shift in U.S. policy toward Israel.

Following the intense backlash that ensued, the Biden administration changed the Twitter account back. Free Beacon reporter Adam Kredo noted the update:
You all gotta believe this, I’m a pro-Israel Muz. Don’t give a monkeys about the GCC Arabs or “Palestinian” nationality.
I’m not happy about this development. Whatever happened to the Abraham Accords? Donald Trump worked so hard on that thing. That was an impossible thing to pull, and now we’re back to square one.
Ghulam, I may be the only one here, but I believe you. The sleazy Democrats are determined to reverse everything good that Donald Trump did.
Bonni, party of one, your table is ready.
Bonni, party of one.
What do you mean, Bubba?
” I may be the only one here.”
Time will tell.
Biden is such a POS. In fact, all Dhimmicrats.
It was evident quite some time ago that if the Democrat-Communist Party seized power they would move quickly and powerfully against tiny, embattled Israel.
The Squad are revered by the top Democrat leadership. The Squad have been allowed by Pelosi and other top leaders to constantly verbally attack, lie about, condemn and vilify innocent Israel.
The Communist Party that controls America are American haters, Jew haters, Christian haters and Israel haters.
They are pro Muslim terrorists. 100% on the side of Hamas and other Muslim terrorists.
Americans and Israelis are in great danger from the Biden-Harris government.
No matter what they say Democrats are the party of Jew Haters’
