Roughly half of Democrats believe that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians during the war in Gaza, an accusation that\u2019s been leveled by some human rights organizations and vehemently denied by Israel and the US government.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Emanuel\u2019s proposals will include sanctions on Israelis who attack Palestinian civilians and property along with companies and banks that support settlements considered illegal by most of the international community. He also wants to end US subsidies to Israel\u2019s defense budget, arguing the country \u201cshould be able to buy American arms under the same financial terms, the same restrictions, and the same requirements as every other trusted ally that abides by our laws.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In addition, Emanuel will blame Netanyahu for driving Israel to a \u201cdead end,\u201d emboldened by poor decisions from American leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFor too long, American policy toward Israel operated under the assumption that the best thing Washington could do for Jerusalem was to blindly and silently stand behind your government, without conditions, without demands, and without consequences when we disagreed,\u201d he will say. \u201cThat has been our mistake. Unconditional support has produced a prime minister who has presumed that his strategic interests would incur no cost if he ignored America\u2019s concerns.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>There\u2019s little precedent for an American with presidential ambitions to travel to another country, much less one as fraught as Israel, to deliver such a stinging rebuke of its political leadership. Centrist figures like Emanuel have been more reluctant than Democrats\u2019 progressive base to question longtime US support for Israel in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>How will Netanyahu react?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>His remarks could prompt a similarly fiery response from Netanyahu, who famously once called Emanuel, who had ambitions of being the first Jewish speaker of the US House, a \u201cself-hating Jew.\u201d Netanyahu faces his own battle for reelection in October, and the veteran leader may try to use a confrontation with Emanuel for political gain by appearing to stand strong in the face of international criticism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But for possible Democratic presidential contenders gauging how to address the fallout from Israel\u2019s war in Gaza and Netanyahu\u2019s perceived tilt toward the Republican Party, led by President Trump, the speech represents an especially frontal strategy. The war has disrupted political coalitions in both major political parties in the US, with younger voters recoiling at Israel\u2019s approach to the conflict pressing American leaders to take a tougher stand. The issue has roiled some Democratic congressional primaries this year and could continue to be a dividing line in the contest for the party\u2019s presidential nomination in 2028.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4468\">US-Bosnia World Cup match was most-watched soccer telecast in country\u2019s history<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Castigating Netanyahu for doing little to advance diplomatic efforts to end the war, Emanuel will note that \u201csupport for Israel is plummeting around the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cYou\u2019ve lost Europe,\u201d he will say. \u201cYour scientists face exclusion from international research networks. Your artists and academics are shut out of exhibits and conferences.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Support for Israel wanes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>While Netanyahu has forged generally strong ties with Trump and the Republican Party, Israel\u2019s support among Democrats has slipped in recent years. But in portraying Israel as increasingly isolated, Emanuel\u2019s comments have echoes of recent remarks from Vice President JD Vance, a sign of how criticism of the country is taking hold in both parties. Speaking recently from the White House briefing room as the US worked to close a deal to end the war with Iran, Vance said Trump was \u201cthe only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For all his tough words, Emanuel, who is Jewish and whose father was born in Jerusalem, will offer notes of sympathy and understanding. He acknowledged the toll of the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in which Hamas-led militants launched air and ground strikes on Israel, killing nearly 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages. He noted disappointments from previous rounds of peace talks with Palestinian leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBut even while acknowledging that history, the path forward cannot be held hostage to a past defined exclusively by recriminations,\u201d he will say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He will call the two-state solution \u201cdiscredited\u201d and instead push for a \u201c23-state solution\u201d that includes Israel, the Palestinians and the 21 other members of the Arab League in a peace deal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe 21 Arab nations that have exploited Palestinian rights as a slogan for decades now need to roll up their sleeves and stand up a governing authority capable of accepting the historic Jewish connection to this land,\u201d he will say.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While no prominent Democrat has formally entered the 2028 contest, that could change soon after the November midterms with a field that could ultimately swell into the dozens. Few have been as open about their intentions as Emanuel, a former White House chief of staff, congressman, Chicago mayor and US ambassador who has spent much of the past three decades holding one public office or another. Absent such a post now, he\u2019s gained attention by releasing a string of policy proposals, biking through the early voting state of New Hampshire, appearing on podcasts and stepping up his social media presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4466\">France\u2019s mark on this World Cup extends far beyond its borders<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>___<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><i>Peoples reported from New York.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt cannot stand or survive as it has been,\u201d Emanuel will say at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday, according to remarks obtained by The Associated Press. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
