Joe Lieberman Slams Biden for Not Inviting Netanyahu to White House and for ‘Strengthening’ Iran

Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman strongly criticized the Biden administration, stating his dissatisfaction with their failure to invite the Israeli prime minister to the White House. Lieberman accused the administration of “strengthening” the Iranian regime, which he considers to be weak. He demanded an immediate invitation for Netanyahu and called for the U.S. to make Iran “more afraid” of their actions.

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Lieberman expressed his concerns about the White House’s “mistake” in not extending an invitation to the Israeli prime minister, who was elected in November. He emphasized that most of the world may not be aware of this omission, but he believes it to be a significant error.

“Honestly, most of the world doesn’t know that the prime minister of Israel has not been invited to the White House [but] I think it’s a mistake,” he stated.

“[Though] it’s true some of the enemies of the U.S. and [President Joe] Biden may focus on it, and the enemies of Israel may focus on it, but it’s a mistake,” he reiterated.

While Lieberman acknowledged that some U.S. enemies and enemies of Israel might focus on this issue, he maintained that it was still a mistake. As someone who recently visited Israel and met with the prime minister, Lieberman argued that, despite any differences, the leader of Israel deserves to be invited to the White House as soon as possible, given the strong alliance between the two countries.

“So far, President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu have tried hard not to get into a public fight, but really the prime minister was duly elected by the people of Israel; he formed a coalition,” he stated. “President Biden and a lot of Americans may not like that coalition, but it resulted from a democratic process in a country that has been one of America’s closest allies in the world — Israel.”

“The prime minister of Israel should be invited to the White House by the President of the United States as soon as possible,” he added emphatically.

Regarding the Biden administration’s pursuit of a nuclear deal with Iran, Lieberman expressed his skepticism and questioned the rationale behind believing that a reliable agreement or understanding could be reached with the Islamic Republic. He criticized the idea of providing billions of dollars to the Iranian government, which would enable them to suppress their own people and support proxy terrorists. Lieberman warned of the potential consequences and harms that such a deal could bring about.

He slammed the notion of “another deal that would give the Iranian government billions of dollars that they will use to suppress their own people and enable their proxy terrorists to kill a lot of other people,” while warning of additional consequences and harms caused by such moves.

“It will also do something really dangerous. It will legitimize the fact that they have enriched uranium to 60 percent — that’s pretty close to being ready to build nuclear weapons,” he stated, noting that only ten years ago, “there was an international agreement that if they enriched uranium at all, that would be a serious violation that would bring the force of the world down on them, yet now we’re saying OK to 60 percent.”
