The reason why is clear: Biden’s handlers support the “Palestinian” jihad.
“No Call to Bibi: Biden Has Yet to Congratulate Newly Elected Israeli Leader,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, November 4, 2022:
The Biden administration will not say when the president plans on calling newly elected Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to congratulate him on his victory, drawing accusations the U.S. administration is trying to isolate the conservative Jewish leader before he even takes office.
Asked on Thursday afternoon if President Joe Biden has any plans to phone Netanyahu following his victory this week in the Israeli elections, a White House spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon, “We don’t have any call to preview at this point.”
The Israeli media reported on Thursday that Biden is expected to call Netanyahu some time over the weekend, citing the U.S. president’s packed schedule campaigning around America’s midterm elections. But the White House would not confirm these reports when asked by the Free Beacon.
Biden called Brazil’s newly elected far-left president-elect, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, on Monday, just a day after that country’s elections. This discrepancy is fueling accusations the Biden administration is taking a chilly approach to its diplomacy with Netanyahu, who made history by being elected as Israel’s prime minister for the third time.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the Free Beacon that the president’s delay in calling Netanyahu “is not an accident.”
“President Biden rushed to call Lula, a committed anti-American Chavista, but is finding every possible excuse not to call the next Prime Minister of Israel. That is not an accident,” Cruz said. “Biden has spent his entire administration undermining America’s allies and boosting America’s enemies. The next Republican Congress is going to leverage aggressive oversight and legislation to reverse that recklessness.”
This is not the first time Biden has been accused of dissing Netanyahu. It took Biden nearly a month to call Netanyahu upon taking office in 2021, fueling speculation Biden was trying to create some distance with Israel after four years of warm relations under former president Donald Trump. When outgoing Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett was elected, it took Biden just two hours to call and congratulate him.
Omri Ceren, a national security adviser for Cruz, said reports that Biden is too busy campaigning to call Netanyahu are “nonsense.”
“Biden found time call [sic] Lula the day after his election—and that was on Monday so it’s not like Biden wasn’t midterm campaigning,” Ceren wrote on Twitter. “Also if he calls this weekend, it will still be before the midterms. Why can’t this [administration] just admit what their foreign policy is?”…

If Biden does call Netanyahu (which he probably will but delaying the call is the petty way Biden and his handlers seek to minimize Netanyahu’s return to power) I hope Netanyahu, like the Saudis, refuses to take his call.
What a worse than nothing person Biden is—a petty demagogue beholden to others who control him because he is a hollow man. He has no virtues. None. He is a blight upon the office of the American Presidency.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Wellington.
Soon to return as Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu should NOT take Biden’s call.

The message could say, “Our menu has changed. We no longer answer this line. Please hang up and call our new number. If you do not know our new number, please hang up and do not try your call again.”

In fact, given how he’s been dissed by every Democrat President – be it Clinton, Obama and now Biden, Netanyahu should pick Putin over Biden, since Israel does have a vested interest in Russians looking the other way while Israel operates in Syria against the Iranians, and also, in Russia sucking up the military assets it sold in the Mid East as well as even military personnel from the region

wasn’t it similar with “bo” who made the PM go in through the servant’s door when biden was pretending to be vp? No one is fooled by the “busy” excuse.
It’s like the girl who doesn’t want to date the guy and says she has to wash her hair; or the guy who claims he has to go out of town and can’t call the girl.
No one is fooled by the fool.

I was watching an analysis of US foreign policy by someone who pointed out that Biden uniquely has managed to unify mutually hostile countries – Iran, Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Israel – against it. Speaking of Israel, he pointed out that PM Lapid made it a point to support Ukraine and denounce Russia but that Netanyahu was unlikely to
I too see that happening. For one, Israel has gained nothing by supporting Ukraine: Zelanskyy continues to mouth anti-Israel propaganda, while Israel has risked the wrath of Putin and potentially the freedom to conduct raids in Syria on Iranian installations while the Russians look the other way. I can see Bibi deciding to just mend fences w/ Putin, since Biden is obviously not an ally, and giving the 🖕 to Zelanskyy, even if Israel might otherwise disapprove of the Russian war on Ukraine
Ironically, the Russian war on Ukraine has, probably unwittingly, turned out to be good for Israel. Historically, it has been Russian military hardware going to countries like Iran, Syria and others which kept Israel nervous and Mossad working overtime to quell them. But now, you have Russia getting both hardware and troops from those countries to fight its war in Ukraine, which means that there are that many fewer troops to take on Israel. If Russia starts getting fighters from Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad and PFLP to Kherson, then those are fighters that Israel won’t have to worry about, but whom Ukraine can kill. So it’s in Netanyahu’s best interests to mend fences w/ Putin and encourage him to take away all the Palis and have them join the Chechens and Tatars fighting Ukraine
Wellington says
An interesting though arguably Machiavellian view of where Israel’s best interests may lie. Again you do not disappoint, Infidel.
I don’t always agree with you though overwhelmingly I do but, agreement aside, you invariably provide a provocative and informed view of matters—like here. In the final analysis, however, Israel’s best interests lie with America, not Russia, the former a champion of liberty (though not under the bogus Biden and the rogues running his administration) and the latter never in its history being a true champion of liberty. And I am not saying here that every Russian government has been evil, though many have been, but I am asserting that every Russian government has been deficient in the “freedom category.” Anyway, times very fluid. No doubt.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
You are right when talking about the countries in the absolute. However, that’s not where we are. Right now, as run by Biden, we are, whether we like it or not, a force for evil, and Israel needs to recognize that. Normally, their interests do not lie w/ Moscow, which usually strengthens their enemies, but if they can turn this situation into one where their enemies have to give Putin back what he has been giving them for 20 years, that’s a win for Israel
Hopefully, a post Putin Russian government will no longer be interested in supporting either muslims nor Beijing
Wellington says
No disagreement here. Tactically what Israel should do, even has to do, is different from where its long-term strategic interests reside. Best by far to still count on America long term but short term it is, unfortunately, a different matter due to the ineptness, even wickedness, of the bogus Biden Administration.
And yes, a post-Putin Russia hopefully would no longer be interested in a pro-Islamic or pro-China foreign policy. As I have asserted for many years now, Russia’s best interests ultimately lie with the West. Though this is conditional on the West no longer engaging in the some half-century suicide that it still remains determined to “accomplish.”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, Russia would be best served not so much by following the examples of the US or Britain or Canada, but more by following the example of Poland and Serbia, or a combination of the two
Wellington says
Infidel: Russia would be best served by following America at its best. Actually, no polity would be better served by not following America at its best.
Yes, I know that America is presently far from its best under the decrepit Biden Administration. But this is not my point.
America at its best, with all its faults, is as good as things can be, bar none, for mankind. Unfortunately, and because the world is often a stupid, avaricious, malicious and control-freak place, the American ideal is not now being followed—even by America under the horrible excuse for an administration which is the faux Biden Administration, replete with the doddering old fool at the top of this monumental error in American history.
The example is there, to wit, the American ideal. And it is there again with the civilizational ideal, i.e., Western Civilization. But the world is mostly a stupid place with a few bright moments here and there. I fear such moments are too few for mankind to realize its optimal potential. Islam most certainly reveals a “trend” in the other direction, a lesser direction, a dead-end direction. Sadly, so do others, none more so than the Democratic Party of the USA in our time—though there are numerous other skanks in this regard here in the West (e.g., the monumental error which is Trudeau).
The world is out of joint. Most surely. Due, among so many other matters, to not appreciating liberty, common sense, the imperative of a decent and fair legal system (N.B., Merrick Garland is a betrayer of a decent and fair legal system) and the only economic system that has ever worked, i.e. capitalism, though all of these must be infused with an enlightened ethic lest they become sham imitations of themselves, which is certainly happening now in the nonsensical age we live in.

Dear Infidel, your implication that Netanyahu supports Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is mistaken:
“Netanyahu: I hope Putin’s having second thoughts about his vision for Russian empire”
Opposition leader says he’d consider arming Kyiv if he regains power…

I never said I expected Netanyahu to endorse the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, the diplomatic way in which he phrased his hope above – “I hope Russia has second thoughts about his vision for a Russian empire” is very different in tone from Yair Lapid, who regularly denounced Moscow, and said nothing about Zelenskyy’s one sided denunciations of Israel. Bibi can also, by denouncing Zelanskyy, soften Putin’s anger at Israel, and get more leeway for Israeli operations in Syria. Although one could argue that Russia is not in a position to do anything against Israel if all the troops that they had in Syria have been recalled to be sent to Donbas
It’s worth noting that in the past, whenever Bibi was given the cold shoulder by the likes of Obama and Kerry, he’d establish back-channels w/ Putin to secure Israel, particularly from Syria. And he knows just as much as anyone else that this is a third Obama term, so has no reason to even pay lip service to the US

Grimly true. He also thought that Yair Lapid would be easier to kick around, and was disappointed when he wasn’t. But still Netanyahu is even tougher on protecting his people–and no doubt Biden or those surrounding him understand this.
Still, ugly and petty not congratulating the leader of an allied nation. But who can be surprised by this?
