Last night, Israeli National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat spoke with his American counterpart Jake Sullivan, congratulating him. They discussed Iran, advancing the Abraham Accords and other topics.
The Biden administration readout of the call is very similar to the PMO readout, but one notable difference is that the Biden admin didn't use the Trump-era "Abraham Accords" branding for the normalization agreements
A few people asked - This is the relevant sentence: "They discussed opportunities to enhance the partnership over the coming months, including by building on the success of Israel's normalization arrangements with UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco."
I didn’t catch this much more important difference before - the American readout doesn’t mention Iran!

Name change is making waves on twitter.

An Embassy spokesperson says: This is not a policy change or indication of future policy change

My 2 cents: It was the Trump that united Israel, WB & Gaza under one embassy. Biden said he wants to separate them again.
And it's back
"It was an inadvertent edit, and not reflective of a policy change" - embassy source

Watching the inauguration, I just want to know who all the cute kids are in the audience
Love Kamala's coat. This is going to be the thread where I make non-newsy comments.
There are *a lot* of really nice coats, but I think Hunter Biden's baby's plaid coat wins.

The misogyny is obvious, but the Lincoln Project also loves calling Jews demonic.

I get why Saar thought they would be a good match for him, but maybe he should have vetted them a bit more...
But hey, if Saar wins, maybe he’ll just recycle the tweet for Sarah.

J Street, New Israel Fund, Americans for Peace Now, Habonim Dror North America, T'ruah & others released a statement opposing the IHRA definition of antisemitism saying it has "potential for misuse." Dozens of governments have adopted the definition since it came out in 2016. 1/
IHRA definition: “Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical & physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals &/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions 2/
and religious facilities.”

The progressive orgs oppose the "contemporary examples" of antisemitism, like claiming “the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor." 3/3

Jill Jacobs: Has no idea what apps people use in Israel
Apparently deleted or maybe I'm blocked. Anyway...the average Israeli would have no idea that Telegram has anything to do with Nazis, and also, people are leaving Whatsapp for Telegram bc of the new privacy rules.
Oh also, in Israel, Telegram is famous for being a place to buy weed. Here's a podcast about that: israelstory.org/episode/milk-h…

#BREAKING Israel establishes ties with Bhutan. Signing to take place tonight.
More details on Israel and Bhutan normalization here. Bhutan only has full diplomatic relations with 53 other countries! jpost.com/international/…
This is the result of several years of growing ties between Israel and Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom in the Himilayas, which intentionally limits its relations with the world to preserve its culture and environment.
