The full text of this week's commentary follows:
This week, Vice President Biden is in the Middle East.
He has said some powerful things.
The vice president affirmed that "the bond between the U.S. and Israel has been and will remain unshakable. Only together can we achieve lasting peace in the region," he said.
He stressed that "There is absolutely no space between the U.S. and Israel in terms of Israel's security. None."
The vice president stated "that we will meet, as allies, any security challenge that we may face. Iran equipped with nuclear weapons will constitute a threat not only to Israel, but also to the U.S."
He added, "Our administration is mobilizing the international community to insist that Iran fulfill its international commitments. If it does not, it will have to deal with serious consequences and with increasing isolation."
And, the vice president believes, "there is a moment of opportunity for peace" in the region.
Bravo to Vice President Biden for these stirring words!
