The postponement of US President Joe Biden’s visit to “Saudi Arabia” and “Israel” is worrying the latter as it could lead to the cancellation of the trip altogether.
Biden has been expected to visit Saudi Arabia and “Israel” in a trip that has been initially set to ameliorate US-Saudi and Saudi-Israeli relations. However, Biden decided, on June 4th, to further postpone it till July, with no specific dates announced.
As stated by sources, the postponed trip will see “an expansion, a "broader trip to the Middle East." Further to that, a senior administration official told NBC News the US is “working on a trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia for a GCC+3 Summit.”
Israeli newspaper Haaretz wrote on Sunday that Biden avoid coming to “Israel” given the fragile state of the current governing coalition. This poses a threat to US-Israeli relations in the long run in case the current coalition collapses.
If the coalition survives until July, then Biden’s visit could be marketed as an act of support for the existing government. However, if the fragile coalition headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett does not survive and collapses prior to the visit, the entire plan could be canceled.
The likely successor in the case of the coalition's collapse would be former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had a fractured relationship with former President Barack Obama. At the time, Biden was Vice President and consequently had a fractured relationship with Netanyahu as well.
Furthermore, the report’s statement that Biden’s focus in his first Middle East trip is Saudi Arabia as it scores high on US priority relations in its war against Russia. "Israel" has historically been the US’ closest ally and its primary focus in the Middle East. However, this appears to no longer be the case.
The aforementioned not only outlines the fragility of the current government’s coalition, nor the shifting priorities of the US in the region, but also that “Israel's” regional role is dwindling vis-à-vis the US’ interests in the ongoing global conflict.
