Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with President Joe Biden on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.
Biden began the meeting by saying: “You’ve heard me say, many times, if there were no Israel we’d have to invent one. I think without Israel, there’s not a Jew in the world that’s secure.”
“I think Israel is essential. And I look forward to discussing all of this with you, and working together with your team, to fulfill as Ben-Gurion said, the dream of generations.”
“I suffer from, oxymoron, Irish optimism. If you and I 10 years ago were talking about normalization with Saudi Arabia, I think we’d look at each other, like, Who’s been drinking what?”
Netanyahu: “Good Irish whiskey.”
Biden: “Good Irish whiskey. That’s the reason why I’ve never had a drink. So, welcome Bibi, and I hope we can get some things settled today.”
After their public remarks and a meeting with their delegations, Netanyahu and Biden held an hour-long private meeting.

Well duh!
Who was president and vice president 10 years ago?
Who was president in the interim that made it a possibility?
4 min mark “I’m delighted to see you”
Netanyahu the goat
You can thank Trump for getting this ball rolling.
My advice to Israel about Saudi Arabia:
Always treat them with respect, but never trust them.
@5TResident It’s all Hakadosh Baruch Hu!! Don’t they teach you that in the five towns, enough already, enough with worshipping and praising the convicted criminal Donald Trump for things he hasn’t even done!! It’s all Hashem we just came out of Rosh Hashana where the ikkur is Malchus Hashem I hope you didn’t forget who really runs the world and whose just a puppet!

I hope you think that whenever someone does something bad to you (cuts you off, insults you, etc)
This is insanity. Israel gains nothing from this “deal,” and Bibi is going to give the “palestinians” (Jordian Arab squatters in Judea and Samaria) brutal “concessions” to gain himself a career-topping photo-op. REJECT!

סנהדרין קיד is not a real daf. All the same, I saw your point brought out in רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה דף כח
