His first days in the White House were opened by incoming President Joe Biden in a blitz of decrees and laws aimed at erasing Donald Trump’s legacy, especially in the areas of domestic policy.

Although his designated secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, promised at a hearing before his Senate approval that the United States would not close the embassy in Jerusalem opened by President Trump, it is difficult to assume that the new administration will embrace Trump's legacy in the Middle East.

True, the Middle East is not a priority for Joe Biden, certainly given the enormous challenges facing him at the forefront of the fight against the Corona plague.

Still, Biden was willing to enslave and possibly jeopardize security interests to please the progressive current in his party, repealing President Trump's order restricting the entry of immigrants from six Muslim countries from which most of the terrorists behind terrorist acts in Europe or on U.S. soil came in the era. The new in the White House is probably not allowed to use the term Islamic extremism or Islamic terrorism, and in the future perhaps also the term Iranian nuclear.

But in the meantime the Middle East is not waiting for Biden.

On the day he entered the White House, ISIS, the same organization we have been told countless times in the past, carried out a terrorist attack in the heart of Baghdad.

In doing so he proved that he is alive and kicking.

ISIS, along with seemingly moderate movements from it, such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and other countries, were indeed beaten and went underground.

They failed because extremism inevitably leads to backwardness, as evidenced by the experience of Hamas' failed rule in the Gaza Strip or Hezbollah's stifling grip on Lebanon, which has brought this country to bankruptcy, but beneath the surface Islamic extremism is buzzing and waiting for an opportunity to break out.

ISIS has been quick to raise its head in Iraq because it has identified a weakness, and it estimates that under Biden the US will cut itself off from the region. While the Muslim Brotherhood is waiting for Aidan to scold Arab rulers for not being democratic and allow the Brotherhood and the like to rise again. After all, democratic governments tend to consider These movements are authentic expressions of the public and those democratically elected by him. Another person who recognizes or aspires to change is Tehran, who sent a hugely embracing and threatening message. Biden, however, threatened that without an agreement Iran would continue to mature, and in the meantime, Tehran's envoys continued to riot throughout the Middle East, such as Yemen where Iranian-made suicide drones were fired at targets in Saudi Arabia.

In Jerusalem, too, there are fears that Israel will become a target for missiles and drones launched from Yemen.

But neither Israel nor its allies are waiting for Biden.

In recent weeks, Israel has stepped up its attacks on Iranian targets, sending a clear message that it will continue its uncompromising struggle to prevent Iran from establishing itself in Syria.

Even the Gulf states are preparing to come, and they would be willing to stuff their noses or swallow the bitter pill and reconcile with Qatar in thought, mistakenly admitting with sorrow that if Qatar enters the APC that makes its way to the inevitable confrontation with Iran, it will refrain from firing within it.

Given this reality, and given the mood in the Biden administration on the Middle East question, it may be better for the US administration to continue to focus on its domestic problems and leave US policy in the region unchanged.
