Former vice president Joe Biden is also the presumptive Democratic nominee, with many Democrats backing him up as a way to unite the party in time for the elections. A recent report reveals that Biden would be restoring the US aid to Palestine should he win the elections in November
The New York Post reports that the former vice president has promised to restore the aid to Palestinians. This was revoked by the Trump administration partly because of suspicions that the funds were used to support terrorism. Biden has also reportedly promised to bring back the Palestine Liberation Organization mission in Washington.
Speaking to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Biden stated, “A priority now for the cause of Israeli-Palestinian peace should be resuming our dialogue with the Palestinians and pressing Israel not to take actions that make a two-state solution impossible...I will reopen the US Consulate in East Jerusalem, find a way to reopen the PLO’s diplomatic mission in Washington, and resume the decades-long economic and security assistance efforts to the Palestinians that the Trump administration stopped.”
The presumptive Democratic nominee also pointed out how important it was to stop Israel from making any moves that would disrupt the chances of bringing Israeli-Palestinian peace. Biden has not disclosed any concessions he would ask from the Palestinians, however, but he will not reverse President Donald Trump’s decision back in 2018 to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations that a two-state solution is the only way to ensure long-term security for Israel, all the while keeping its identity as a Jewish democratic state.
Democrats have been caught in a moral dilemma as far as Biden is concerned, due to the sexual assault allegations made against him by former Senate staff member Tara Reade. Although Biden has denied these allegations, Reade made her first on-camera interview recently with Megyn Kelly. When Kelly asked her what she wants to say to Biden today, Reade said she wishes for Biden to withdraw from the 2020 Presidential race.
“I would say, you and I were there, Joe Biden, please step forward and be held accountable. You should not be running on character for president of the United States,” said Reade.
