It appears that Biden was not running his administration for much of his term; nearly all of his term?Netanyahu makes it clear: Biden is no longer in charge
US-Israel policy appears to now be fully running through Mar-a-Lago after shocking developments in the Golan Heights, writes John Bowden

As Syrians celebrated across Damascus and elsewhere in the country, other powers in the region took action. Citing a supposed threat from anti-Israel militant groups in a country now undergoing a massive political upheaval, Israeli troops occupied five villages across the Golan Heights, an area in Syria’s southwest. It also struck countless other targets across the country.
Even before the end of the business day in Washington, a starkly different message had been issued from a Twitter account operated by Benjamin Netanyahu’s office: “The importance of this historic recognition has been underscored today. The Golan Heights will be an inseparable part of the State of Israel forever.”
As Netanyahu made his pronouncement, other Israelis celebrated the apparent land grab openly on social media.
If the meetings between top Israeli officials and President-elect Trump weren’t enough to convince us, this latest development makes it obvious. Joe Biden is no longer in charge of the situation — whether he likes it or not, apparently. US-Israel policy appears to now be fully running through Mar-a-Lago as the State Department plays catch-up and prepares for a Trump takeover.
When January 20 comes around, it may cap off the end of the lamest “lame duck” presidency in modern times.
