"Biden's Strategic Shift in Mideast Diplomacy"

The "Biden Doctrine" for Middle East peace, as outlined by Thomas Friedman, consists of confronting Iran, promoting a Palestinian state, and expanding the US-Saudi strategic relationship. However, these tracks are not new and are unlikely to succeed. The US' failure to address the ongoing crisis in the Middle East undermines its status as the "indispensable nation" and may strengthen Iran, isolate Israel, and diminish America's ability to influence events in the region.
