A week ago, Israel Today editor Boaz Bismuth warned Naftali Bennett: this is not the time to pay a state prime minister a visit to Washington because of the catastrophe in Afghanistan.
Last night it became clear that President Biden's bad luck had turned into a rolling event.
The dire consequences come one after another, every action brewing disaster.
For Israel, it is not good that a meeting between heads of state does not take place or is postponed.
It is debatable whether such a serious attack should lead to the cancellation of a meeting between the president and an Israeli prime minister.
Such a rejection is never remembered;
This broadcasts that the Israeli prime minister is irrelevant.
Bennett found himself in an awkward situation.
The president has a very severe strategic security crisis on his head, so he stays close to the nerve center to deal with it.
Chancellor Angela Merkel has her own crisis in Afghanistan, which caused her to cancel her visit to Israel and stay behind the wheel.
It seems that only the Israeli prime minister has no crisis and no urgent problem at home;
There is no raging epidemic, and there is no Gaza, and for Iran we are traveling to Washington.
But a historical review of prime ministers' meetings with U.S. presidents highlights the difference, and clarifies why the meeting is not in President Biden's mind.
Bennett did not come to meet with the president as a leader, but as an emissary of a particular group in Israel.
He has no specific personal contribution of his own.
One can easily describe a situation in which President Trump - precisely because of the state of emergency - wants to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu to update and consult;
And it is possible to describe Bush Jr. meeting to consult with Prime Minister Arik Sharon against the background of such a terrorist attack.
Most commentators stressed that "the importance of the meeting actually exists."
Apparently such a meeting drops in the priority ranking.
This is a live demonstration of how Israel's agenda, in plain language, is not in the head of the US president. It also clarifies the mistake of veteran security officials, who believe that Iran is a problem of the world. We must work in cooperation with the United States.
The fundamental problem is that the United States, under the democratic government of Biden, has changed beyond recognition. It is moving in a bad direction for Israel. The Israeli government is too interested in approaching the Biden government, but from the visit and the new government in Israel No matter what rhetoric Bennett uses, you had an activist prime minister who moved the whole world, including Russia, in favor of Israel's interests against Iran, and even put out prominent operations - the Americans think - and yet you decided to replace him.
Biden is not just too old a president. He's more radical, maybe a lot more, than Obama. Ben Shapiro wrote this clearly in "Israel Today" earlier this week. Biden intends to lead a Scandinavian-style socialist regime, and part of that is to cut off the US physical presence from most parts of the world, with Afghanistan and Iran as an expression of this plan. Israel's security concerns, being overly focused on reviving the Iranian nuclear deal. "This situation will not change, especially after the disasters in Kabul, nor after the Biden-Bennett meeting.
