Rahm Emanuel will assail Netanyahu in Tel Aviv speech as American politics shift against Israel
Emanuel will urge sanctions on Israelis and settlement supporters as he argues U.S. backing for Israel needs new conditions, according to prepared remarks.
- Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel plans a speech criticizing Israel leadership, proposing sanctions on settlers and defense aid cuts, arguing unconditional American support allowed Netanyahu to ignore Washington.
- As support for Israel wanes among Democrats, Emanuel will call the two-state solution 'discredited' and push for a 23-state solution involving Israel, Palestinians, and the 21 other members of the Arab League.
- Describing growing isolation, Emanuel will say, "Your scientists face exclusion from international research networks. Your artists and academics are shut out of exhibits and conferences."
- Netanyahu may use the confrontation for political gain by appearing strong against international criticism, while the speech highlights a growing divide within the Democratic Party regarding historic support for Israel.
- Emanuel's comments echo recent remarks from Vice President Vance, who said President Donald Trump is "the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.
