(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The true intentions of both Joe Biden and Donald Trump were exposed once again when the former asked Americans, among whom were many Jews, to pay for the evacuation from Israel and the latter helped Americans to go back home safely.
The U.S. State Department which is controlled by the Biden administration demanded that Americans must sign promissory notes as a precondition for any assistance in evacuating from the crisis-hit region.

In the email to the American citizens, the DOS wrote that it would help Americans get to a “safe location” instead of their homeland, adding that Americans would also need to pay for everything.
“Travelers should be prepared to arrange their own lodging at the safe location and pay for their own onward travel from the third country to their chosen destination. Departure assistance is provided via a loan from the U.S. government which requires travelers to sign a promissory note (an agreement to repay) prior to departure,” the email said.
One of the people who stuck in that situation was the communications manager at the American Accountability Foundation, Yitz Friedman.
“While Poland, Hungary, Brazil, Romania and other countries sent planes to bring their citizens home from the war zone, our government told us to fend for ourselves. I literally called our embassy asking for help and was essentially told to pound sand,” he wrote.
My wife and I have finally gotten ourselves on the way home to the US from Israel after days of fear and tremendous anxiety. Our original flight was canceled.

However, Friedman and his wife were still able to go back home safely, despite the U.S. government abandoning them and many other Americans. The reason why that happened, he said, was because of Trump’s foreign policies.
“I would like to thank President Trump… My wife and I just flew from Tel Aviv – passing three or four armed military checkpoints to get to the airport – and are now safe in Dubai waiting for our connecting flight to the US,” Friedman wrote.

After days of fear and anxiety in Israel, I am finally on my way home to the US.
Almost every airline canceled all flights, including our flight home. We we're sure what to do.
Luckily, one if the few airlines still running flights is…

He then explained that the reason why he, his wife and many other Americans are now safely back home is because of Trump’s Abraham Accords.
“If not for the Trump’s Abraham Accords, this would be unthinkable. There would be no flights from Israel to the [United Arab Emirates]… Thanks to Trump’s efforts, thousands of American citizens have a way home from a very dangerous situation. Even as it seems the Middle East is imploding, this historic peace agreement is making things a little better,” he wrote.
