After a week of continuous struggles to keep his coalition afloat, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett clearly awaits desperately the visit of US President Joe Biden. Bennett is like a man wandering thirsty and hungry through the desert in search of direction. Biden is expected to arrive to Israel next week, but the Americans have yet to publicly announce the date of the visit. Officials in Jerusalem understand the uncertainty, but are convinced the visit will pan out.
Preparation for the visit include efforts for some form of breakthrough in the level of relations with Saudi Arabia. An upgrade is also in the cards for the proposed joint aerial warning system between Israel and its allies in the region in the form of an ad hoc alliance against Iran.
