Israel’s Netanyahu confronts altered political landscape in US

Live Mint  

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress on Wednesday drops one of the world’s most polarizing politicians into the middle of an unprecedented U.S. political shake-up, a risky combination as he tries to win support from both parties for his country and its war. The national discussion over Israel’s conduct in Gaza seemed to have fallen into the background, as the focus moved to President Biden’s fitness and former President Donald Trump’s invigorated campaign after a failed assassination attempt. Boaz Bismuth, a lawmaker from Netanyahu’s Likud party, said the prime minister couldn’t say no to an invitation from Congress, especially not when Israel is facing historic challenges. “Netanyahu should not be welcomed into the United States Congress," said Sen. Bernie Sanders, a critic of the Israeli government who won’t attend the speech.
