New Israeli government an ‘opportunity’ for Biden

Easier US nuclear diplomacy with Iran, economic accords with Arab states and a White House visit for Bennett seen ahead.

The new government in Israel headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett presents an opportunity for an easing of political tensions between Israel and the United States as President Joe Biden seeks a return to the Iran nuclear agreement, analysts said. “Biden has caught a lucky break,” said Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, DC. “Biden has bought himself space and time. Bennett is not looking for a fight,” Miller told Al Jazeera.
