Mark Mellman, the president and CEO of the influential group Democratic Majority for Israel, told Axios that "there has never been a president more pro-Israel than Joe Biden but at the same time we are very concerned about what appears to be a significant shift in US policy."
He added: "There are a lot of people in the pro-Israel community who are very worried, very upset and very angry."
"We don't know what the consequences are going to be politically."
At the end of the day, politicians have no friends, just self-interests. Biden as an individual might like Jews but Biden the politician wants to win re-election in November and there's more Arab votes than Jews ones. As for donations, Qatar and Iran will funnel more than enough money to make up for any loss of Jewish money so there's no downside for him betraying Israel.
