Biden's latest headache: Israel rejects ...

THE TIMES
About this episode

Israel's lawmakers have officially rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state, ending hope for Joe Biden that one of his main foreign policies could come to fruition. Under the proposed agreement, the US would grant Saudi Arabia a security pact and assistance in building a civil nuclear reactor, and in return the Saudis would establish relations with Israel. But the condition of that was an Israeli commitment to a Palestinian state. In today's World in 10, the Times' Middles East correspondent, Samer al-Atrush, analyses what this means for Biden, Israel and the war effort.


The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security. Expert analysis of war, diplomatic relations and cyber security from The Times' foreign correspondents and military specialists.
