Re No. 9 - I think Biden aligned himself with the Israeli people, not Netanyahu. In fact, Biden has been the single most important yoke on Netanyahu and his steps to deter a broader war involving a fully open front on Israel’s northern border have been successful so far. Hopefully that does not deteriorate any further.

In any event, it denies a meaningful example of Biden’s impeccable statecraft to look at the extraordinarily difficult work he and Blinken had to do post 10/7 by framing his actions as “aligning with Netanyahu.”

If the rift in our coalition is to be healed before November, it’s important to avoid fostering the notion that Biden has been a patsy for Bibi.

I hope the gist of your prediction comes to pass sooner rather than later.
