Biden Middle East policy wants to make ‘Iran great again’: Former State Dept. official
Biden’s foreign policy changes in question as tension in the Middle East boils over
Former State Department senior adviser Christian Whiton offers insight into the Biden administration reversing course on the Trump administration’s Middle East agenda by seeking additional aid to the Palestinians.
Former State Department senior adviser Christian Whiton ripped President Biden’s foreign policy plans on ‘Mornings with Maria,’ arguing the administration’s move to send aid to Palestine will revive problems in the Middle East.
CHRISTIAN WHITON: It seems like Biden and his top aides really want to make Iran great again. Really, you see this throughout policy, both foreign and domestic, a desire to pretend the 2016 in the last four years never happened. So a refusal to accept just the unequivocally good news and good developments in the Middle East, where basically Trump had decided to transcend the Palestinian issue.

So fast forward to now. And you have Biden, first of all, unfreezing 200 and I believe 35 million, 275 million in aid previously to the Palestinians, now giving them another 75 million. Unable to say that that's not going to go to Hamas because Hamas runs the Gaza Strip and they would have won elections had they been held in this opening of a consulate in Israel's capital, Jerusalem. It's just reviving this sort of fiction of Palestinian… that solving that problem, that we need to be more sympathetic than that.
