President Joe Biden’s first stop on his Middle East tour was Israel, and a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid. The two men signed an agreement declaring the bonds between their two countries “unbreakable” and “unshakeable.” The so-called Jerusalem Declaration includes a U.S. pledge not to allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon and “to use all elements of its national power to ensure that outcome.” The U.S. president also visited Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial, where he met and talked with two Holocaust survivors, attended the opening ceremony of the Maccabiah Games, and traveled to meet with Palestinian and Saudi Arabian leaders.
