Israel may prefer Trump, but Biden is no stranger
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has channeled most of his country in hoping that US President Donald Trump could win a second term. But there also has been a lot of good feeling toward his Democratic challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden, a longtime champion of the US-Israel relationship and friend of the prime minister. What anxiety there may be in Israel around the rising possibility of a Biden presidency revolves around two issues — Iran, of course, and a younger, progressive wing of the Democratic Party that is not as committed to the US-Israel partnership.
