The wink is an important element in the diplomatic tool box. It shatters ice and creates a secret partnership. The US President understands well the art of Prime Minister's wink and at the same time he is tired of it. Netanyahu shows a friendly wink that conceals purposes. Then he pulls the knife of the maneuver to stab it in the back.

Now, Biden is angry about Netanyahu's hasty actions after the developments in Israel that will become an anti-liberal and undemocratic state. The White House now has no intention of containing what Netanyahu and his government are doing. Blinken is moving this week within the Middle East to prove to Netanyahu that the US administration is still committed with a two-state solution. Unilateral measures contradict; the message that Blinken brought with him, which is polite but insightful and clear.

Israel is close to lose one of its most important friends. The most important element of Israel's national security is close and intimate relations with the US administration. Since now, it is difficult for it to heed calls from senior Democrats to stop giving Israeli everything good. 

Netanyahu can now wink at his political partners that it is a little bit important to bring down his head until Biden's anger passes because winking will not work. The end of the story will be between the superpower and those who rush towards the end of democracy.
