Abstract

The article discusses the potential for a "Biden Doctrine for the Middle East" and argues against the Biden administration's plans to advance Palestinian statehood and offer Saudi Arabia a defense pact. The author points out that previous attempts by the United States to transform the Middle East through peace processes have failed, and warns that a significant investment in building a Palestinian state is likely to end in failure as well. The article highlights the complex issues of identity, historical memory, nationalism, and religion that contribute to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and suggests that the United States should focus on preventing regional chaos, maintaining regional integration, and explaining changing support for Israel instead of pursuing an unresolvable conflict.
