Douglas Murray: 10 things Trump can do to clean up Biden’s messes abroad

Donald Trump’s victory on Tuesday was so overwhelming that even his opponents seem to have gone quiet for a bit. Relatively speaking.

 

The important excerpts: 

Israel

Biden talked a strong game on Israel, but his administration was wet and leaky as hell.

In fact, the Biden administration spent more time trying to perform regime change in Jerusalem than it ever did anywhere else.

Now that Biden, Chuck Schumer and that gang are out, this is a good time to reaffirm the alliance.

Israel doesn’t need America to fight its wars for it. But it does need the US as a resolute ally while it finishes off Hamas and Hezbollah.

It also needs America to assert the sort of pressure the Biden-Harris administration never did to get the remaining hostages freed.

Trump has said before that they must be freed before his inauguration. Now is the time to tell Hamas’ regional backers that time is up.

The slogan for freeing the hostages — including the American ones — should never have been “Bring them home.” It should be “Give them back.” Now.

Iran

Which brings me to the single most important thing Trump can do in the Middle East.

The only reason Iran has been able to fight a seven-front war against Israel for the past year is because Biden-Harris turned the money spigots on for the mullahs the minute they came into office.

Before that, the mullahs were crawling to Trump, begging him to lift his crippling sanctions on their country.

Now is the time to slam the sanctions back on. Iran has seen its terror proxies crippled by Israeli military and intelligence in the past year. Now is the time to go for the head of the snake.

The Iranians are threatening another direct strike on Israel from Iranian territory.

In the last exchange, Israel took out the Revolutionary Islamic government’s air defense systems. There might be a reason for that. In the “tit-for-tat” of this part of the war, the next strike from Iran is imminent.

With Trump on the way back, Israel should be confident that its responding counter-strike destroys the mullahs and wipes away their nuclear ambitions once and for all.

Who knows, perhaps the sordid, barbaric Islamic regime in Tehran will finally fall and the Iranian people can finally get their country back.

If so, then perhaps by the end of his next term, Trump will be able to bring Iran into the Abraham Accords.

Now that is something that even the Nobel Committee would have to notice.
