U.S.-Israel political parallels (and perils) New leaders in Jerusalem and Washington will contend with a bilateral relationship that s become more political than diplomatic. June 4, 2021 5:45pm Text size Copy shortlink:
A campaign poster for the 2019 Israeli election one of four in just two years showed a smiling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shaking hands. But not with a coalition partner, or even reaching out to a rival in a magnanimous gesture. Rather, the man looking equally enthused to grip and grin was then-President Donald Trump, looking like a running mate in a U.S.-style campaign.
In metaphorical ways, the president and prime minister were running mates. More broadly, Netanyahu s closer association with Republicans was a sharp departure from the traditionally bipartisan foundation of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
As President Biden is preparing to engage in talks with Republican leaders on a bold infrastructure package, a rash of events in the Middle East is threatening to pull the U.S. back into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Biden administration immediately condemned “in the strongest terms” the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip into Israel late Monday, expressing support for Israel’s right to defend itself.
The statement was in stark contrast to those issued by the White House and congressional Democrats over the weekend criticizing Israel’s planned evictions of Palestinian families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem.
