ISRAEL/JOE BIDEN/MIDDLE EAST/UAE: “Emirates and Israel both share a keen interest in preserving the prospects for peace in the region. Annexation would be a body blow to the cause of peace, which is why I oppose it now and would oppose it as president. It would virtually end any chance of a two-state solution that would secure Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state and uphold the right of Palestinians to a state of their own.”
