"Hamas will not have veto power over the reconstruction efforts," a State Department official said.

Despite the alarming headline of this report, Biden and Blinken are probably better for Israel and the Middle East than Obama and John Kerry, if only because they're too busy dealing with other issues first.

Netanyahu spoke about his plan to annex the Jordan Valley, having neglected to do it over his 13 years as PM.

Trump sharply criticized his predecessor, saying under the Obama administration relations with Israel were “undermined and neglected.”

Liberman, who was eager to make good on his public announcements about getting even with Gaza, felt that Netanyahu was making him look bad, manipulating his position to make it untenable.

Pompeo: "As we have been warning for some time, Iran’s missile testing and missile proliferation is growing."
