Biden is going to be in Israel and the greater middle east area this coming week, but all indications are that the discussion won't have anything to do with the Israel/Palestinian situation.
White House: No new peace push during Biden’s Mideast visit

Other regional issues, such as fighting in neighboring Syria and including Turkey in a regional Mediterranean bloc, are also expected to be on the agenda.

What is fascinating about...

including Turkey in a regional Mediterranean bloc

Is the fact Turkey has been using the refugee problem to blackmail the west. Using the time to go in the absolute opposite direction. Closing down all opposition voices in Turkey. The EU and US have been expressing their anger, but know until this situation in Syria is under better control Turkey will keep using this and could break down into a Turk Spring.

Little side note of thoughts?????

Over the years we kept hearing...

“It’s hard to see how in the coming decade Israel remains both secure and democratic and a Jewish state in the absence of a two-state outcome,” he said.

But it never made sense to me. The Jewish to Muslim ratio in Israel is quite secure.
Israel has control of the border situation and building walls. Soooo....

including Turkey in a regional Mediterranean bloc

The "unions" or "blocs" are based on taking down the walls and opening borders, which is one of the reasons the EU is struggling with the refugee problem right now, it is written in the constitutions of the all the unions as one of it's goals. The reason Merkel is struggling to insist, but those who don't have the new ideology in mind don't understand.

Or even the Brexit situation. One of the main complaints is the open borders situation.

In their minds, Israel will have to open their borders to survive or be cut off from the world to a degree that would be scary for any country.

lol welllll, except a God worshipping Israel.
