Trump doing Bibi some last minute favors:
- Pompeo the first high US official to visit a settlement (right near Ramallah to add a further insult)
“For a long time, the State Department took the wrong view of settlements,” Pompeo said, but it now recognizes that “settlements can be done in a way that (is) lawful, appropriate and proper.”
- the State Department announced that products from the settlements can be labeled “Made in Israel” in a major policy shift
- Pompeo declares BDS is anti-semitic and any group that supports the boycott won't receive US funding
A lot of this is just stirring up trouble and placing obstacles in Biden's path as he tries to carry out merely a pro-Israel policy instead of the extreme pro-Israel Trump policy. Adelson always gets a return on his investment.
