Do you think returning to the Nuclear deal with Iran by a Biden Administration will be a good move or not?

The unilateral moves taken by Trump/Pompeo, on behalf of the Evangelicals and Netanyahu, as well as Iran's continued meddling in Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq, mean the US, Russia, China, France and Germany coalition will have to negotiate a new deal with Iran.
We wouldn't have been in such a bad situation today, had it not for the reckless Pompeo/Trump actions, but it is what it is, and the Biden team has its work cut out for it.
A deal will also be shaped by the nature of the new Israeli government, and there will be a new Israeli government, because the Israeli Knesset voted to dissolve itself.

@Northwest Any new Israeli government will be much like the old one though (re: Iran) , with or without Netanyahu.

Israeli governments will care about the security of Israel, but there's a wide gap between how the left to center-left versus extreme right view how to deal with Iran. So, no, they're not likely to deal with Iran the same way.

Surprise. There is a left in Israel, and surprisingly it has media outlets as well. Netanyahu just lost the vote to keep his position and the Knesset voted to dissolve itself.

His margin is thin, and no "partner" is going to agree to work with him, after they've seen what happened to Gantz. But, like Trump, he's not afraid to lie, lie again and then lie some more. And like Trump he is going to pull all the stops to remain relevant.
He is going to be tried. Israel's politics are even harsher than the US, and even his allies will allow it to go that far, so they can hold support over his head to extract a political reward.
