Prime Minister Naftali Bennett vowed on Tuesday to prevent Israel from being used as a political football in the United States, as the new Israeli government works to restore ties with the Democratic Party, which have become frayed in recent years.
“I’ll challenge any attempt to make America a partisan political issue in Israel and any attempt to make Israel a partisan political issue in the United States,” Bennett said in his remarks at the US Embassy in Jerusalem’s annual Independence Day celebration.
At US embassy in Jerusalem, Bennett reiterates return of bipartisan support for Israel
