President Joe Biden has promised a, “new and more promising chapter of America’s engagement,” with the Middle East.

“I had the pleasure to join the first leaders meeting of the United States, India, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates. Together, the I2U2 will harness the vibrancy and entrepreneurial spirit of our nations to tackle some of the greatest challenges confronting our world,” President Biden wrote of this photo take at the recent summit.

“We cannot allow Iran to become nuclear,” said current Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid during a news conference Thursday after meeting privately with other world leaders including U.S. President Joe Biden.

Lapid may only be the temporary, interim Israeli Prime Minister- former PM Naftali Bennet having only been recently ousted and a new election not having taken place yet- but in that one sentence, Lapid speaks for nearly the entire unified Middle Eastern region.

Whatever other disagreements may exist, between members of the Knesset, rival political parties; between neighboring, allied and politically opposed nations, religious groups; over borders, land rights, history; Iran’s rouge government cannot become nuclear.

Even without the bomb, Iran’s brutal government regime has sponsored so much terror in the region through proxies, its nearest neighbors and co-religionists have found a new spirit of unity. In the past few years, Middle Eastern nations from Bahrain to Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates have even been warming- officially and unofficially- towards Israel.
