Netanyahu's victory will not be US' victory

China Daily  

Protesters block traffic ahead of a scheduled visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the US Capitol in Washington on Wednesday. MIKE STEWART/AP The outpouring harsh criticism from US society of his "inhumanity" and the Joe Biden administration's enough-is-enough attitude clearly expressed after his Wednesday our-enemies-are-your-enemies speech at the Congress — in a bid to persuade US lawmakers to continue to support Israel in the Gaza conflict — should spur Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to rethink his next step if his largest backer backs down. Despite the politically correct standing ovations he has received, which some say turned the Congress into "Netanyahu's theater of grotesque", seeing the large number of unoccupied seats in the hall — many lawmakers including Nancy Pelosi boycotted his speech which was also skipped by US President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris — the Israeli leader must be aware the great lengths he had gone to in a bid to enable the tail to wag the dog are increasingly becoming a fool's errand. Also, former US president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who is set to host Netanyahu at his residence during his US visit later this week, posted a letter he received from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas not long ago, adding he is "looking forward" to bringing peace in the Middle East just days before.
