Three days after Joe Biden was declared president-elect of the United States, the Twitter account of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu still features a photo of defeated President Donald Trump in its banner. Trump will be leaving the White House in two and a half months.
Netanyahu is sufficiently experienced and self-aware to know that the president can still take major steps in the Middle East and counter Iranian ambitions in ways that will help him politically, but nothing is simple. This weekend, Netanyahu found himself caught between his good friend Trump, who refused to admit defeat, and President-elect Joe Biden, with whom he will have to work in the very near future.
