The political price of political instability:
Against the background of the retirement of MK Jida Rinawi Zoabi, a political source who spoke with "Israel Today" estimated today (Thursday) that US President Joe Biden's visit to Israel may be canceled in case the Knesset dissolves .
The visit is currently scheduled for the end of June, but as mentioned, it is highly questionable.
A similar assessment was published in "Israel Today", and now the chance that the visit will be canceled has increased as the same political factor assessed today.
Past experience shows that US presidents refrain from visiting the country during election campaigns, so that the move will not be interpreted as interfering in Israel's domestic politics. Another on the political map on the eve of an election.

According to the original plan, Biden's visit is expected to last two days, during which he will meet with Prime Minister Bennett and President Herzog, and may even deliver a speech to the Israeli public.
Usually, US presidents also combine a visit to Yad Vashem with a visit to the Western Wall, and this is likely to be the case this time as well if the president's trip to Israel is carried out. In addition, Biden is expected to visit Ramallah and meet with Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen.
In the year and a half that has passed since he took office, Biden has made very few trips outside the United States. Throughout 2021, the President made a total of two political trips, skipping between several countries in Europe. One of the main reasons for this was the Corona epidemic. Only now, too, has she been to Europe.
