Hour-long Netanyahu-Biden meeting on UN General Assembly sidelines, appointment to meet at White House before year-end
2023-09-21
[IsraelTimes] The meeting between US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. S I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wraps up after 61 minutes.

The two met in private after delivering opening remarks to the press.

At the end of the open meeting, Biden ignored shouted questions about whether he feared for the future of democracy in Israel and what the Paleostinians would need to achieve in a normalization deal.

Biden invites Netanyahu to White House, calls for ‘consensus’ on judicial overhaul

[IsraelTimes] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
has invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington for a follow-up meeting before the end of the year, the White House says in its readout after the two leaders met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

Wednesday’s meeting was the first between the two leaders since Netanyahu returned to power last December. No newly elected prime minister had waited longer for a meeting with a US president since Levi Eshkol in 1964.

During their meeting, Biden reiterated "his concern about any fundamental changes to Israel’s democratic system, absent the broadest possible consensus," the White House says.

Netanyahu assured Biden in comments to news hounds before the sit-down that Israel will remain a vibrant democracy, even as he seeks to continue advancing his government’s judicial overhaul.

A senior Israeli official tells news hounds that Netanyahu privately assured Biden that he wants to secure consensus support either in the Knesset or among the public. However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
Netanyahu offered the US such assurances before his government went on to pass the first piece of overhaul legislation without any support from the opposition.
Kinda like the Dems here
"With regard to ongoing tension and violence in the West Bank, [Biden] emphasized the need to take immediate measures to improve the security and economic situation, maintain the viability of a two-state solution, and promote a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Paleostinians," the US readout says.

The White House says Biden urged Israel and the Paleostinians to adhere to their commitments made at a pair of regional summits earlier this year in Egypt and Jordan where they agreed not to advance any unilateral measures that exacerbate tensions.

Israel also made commitments there not to approve new settlement construction but that was only for a temporary period, and the hardline government made sure to advance record numbers of settler homes both before and after the agreed-upon period.

Biden and Netanyahu agreed to work toward convening a third summit between Israel, the Paleostinian Authority, the US, Egypt and Jordan in the near future, the White House says.
Oh joy.
The US readout says the two leaders also welcomed "the likely convening soon of a ministerial meeting" of the Negev Forum, which Israeli officials have said will be held in Morocco next month. However,
the way to a man's heart remains through his stomach...
the earthquake that recently hit the country may again cause a delay of the gathering.

Biden and Netanyahu also welcomed the recent announcement made at the G20 to develop the India Middle East Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
Economic Corridor (IMEC) through the UAE, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, Jordan and Israel and "discussed how the project can benefit the entire Middle East region with investment and new forms of collaboration across two continents," the White House says.

The rest of the readout highlights the usual Biden talking points about the countries’ close bilateral ties "based on the bedrock of shared democratic values," the US’s "ironclad" commitment to Israel’s security, its commitment to ensuring Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
never obtains a nuclear weapon and its desire to advance Israel’s integration in the region.

It notably does not specify Saudi Arabia in that context, though Biden made a point of discussing a potential Israel-Saudi deal during his opening remarks to news hounds ahead of the meeting.

#9  I would love to be a fly on the wall to listen to how Bibi describes his conversations with POTATUS, the Imperious Vegetable. It must have been shocking to him to see what a once mighty nation had done to itself, and how the enemies of Israel flourish in this administration.

#7  Grom, got a story for ya...
About 20 years ago, we were at Ft Leonard Wood in Missouri, visit eldest son coming out of sapper school. Wood is a combined base, everybody's combat engineers and chem people train there. You see the total variety of uniforms, it's how you can tell who's from where.
Anyhoo, we had gone in base exchange, and were coming out, when I met a guy in marine camo coming in through the exit line.
He says, "Oh, is this the exit?" I point up at the sign overhead and reply "That's how they spell it." He grabs the handrail with one hand, bends at the knees, puts the other hand over his heart, and goes "Oh, I Am Wounded! Corpsman!"

#6  Biden appears to wander off UN stage without shaking President Lula's hand at end of joint speech - leaving Brazilian leader visibly irritated - minutes after President walked through a flag to take the podium

#5  Respectively, TW, your relationship with g(r)om is odd.
He is a hater of many things, petty as they may be.
Just because he (may) be Jewish doesn't make his opinions factual.
It takes little review of Rantburg archives to determine he leans toward American Democrats and away from American conservatives. I know you are aware of his opinions. The fact you ask actually surprises me. As to why he favours Biden is a mystery to me. I suggest you review his comments for the last 10 years.
I remember you issued warnings to me and him about our comments to each other. So... I know you are aware...
