Israeli leader faces pressure to cancel US Congress speech

Featured Replies

I did not miss it. The guy makes valid points. Do you think his political opponents are going to do anything but rip him apart, right before an election?

I think that you are not aware of the chain of events which led to his Paris visit.

I think that quoting a henchman as proof that the trip and Netanyahu's conduct were seen in a positive light is misleading.

I think that not accepting that the whole trip was part of an election campaign is naive at best.

Jacobs explained that his call for Netanyahu to cancel the planned visit stems from his concern that it would not serve the broader goal of making sure a deal signed with Iran does not endanger Israel. It also reflects his fear that the controversy surrounding Netanyahu’s speech could turn Israel into a partisan issue in American politics.

“This is something we in the Jewish community cannot afford,” Jacobs said. “That’s what’s in stake.”
