There can be no doubt about what Joe Biden has in mind for our ally, Israel. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides spilled the beans in March when he revealed that Biden is “fully and completely supportive of a two-state solution with a divided … capital.”

And Hady Amr, Biden’s deputy assistant secretary for Israeli-Palestinian affairs, is on record endorsing a divided Jerusalem. Amr is a hostile-to-Israel Palestinian activist who infamously announced in 2002 that he was “inspired by the Palestinian intifada.” Amr also once accused Israel of the “brutal murders of innocents [Palestinian children].”

A true enemy of Israel, Amr is now Biden’s point man on Israeli-Palestinian relations. He derided President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as a “mistake.” And he added this revealing remark ...

Should we recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital? Eventually, Yes. Alongside Palestine’s capital in Jerusalem too.

That’s Biden’s plan in a nutshell ... and Team Biden—staffed with anti-Israel appointees like Amr—has a strategy to get there.

The first step, in Biden’s words, is to “reopen the U.S. consulate in East Jerusalem”—an office devoted to serving Palestinians, which President Trump wisely closed and merged into the U.S. embassy in 2019.

If reopened, it will become the de facto American embassy to the so-called state of “Palestine.” One located on sovereign Israeli soil and right in the heart of Israel’s capital city ...

That will be a huge slap in Israel’s face and an open assault on Israel’s sovereignty. It’s also a gift to Palestinians who call for Israel’s destruction and spend millions each year on blood money paid to terrorists who murder and maim Israelis.

You and I must speak out NOW! Join me in demanding that House and Senate leaders put Biden on notice and strip all funding for a reopened consulate/embassy to the Palestinian people.
