At the first of several expected Democratic primary debates for the 2020 presidential elections, issues pertaining to the Middle East took a backseat to domestic concerns.
The Iran deal was the only issue related to Israel or the U.S.-Israel relationship discussed at Wednesday’s debate. Other such matters, including anti-Semitism and Trump’s pro-Israel policies, such as moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem or recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, were omitted.
Among the 10 Democrats on the debate stage on Wednesday night, when asked what is today’s greatest geopolitical threat, only Sen. Amy Klobuchar mentioned Iran.
