USA v. Israel in the Formation of Israel's Government under Netanyahu

Submitted by Robert (United States), Nov 27, 2022 at 20:55

Dear Dr. Daniel Pipes,

You have promoted an Israeli Victory.

The specifics for that were quite complex and difficult to articulate. However, now the issue is extremely focused it seems to me. Netanyahu has been effectively elected Prime Minister. But he has no choice but to form an Alliance with Israel's 2 most Right-Wing politicians ever, and the Biden administration has already intervened expressing its desire for Netanyahu to subjugate his necessary partners in forming a government. Below is today's article detailing opinions on the situation. And so I wonder what your take is on the choices Netanyahu faces:

"Netanyahu walks political and diplomatic tightrope as he forms coalition"

"Washington's involvement in Israeli politics following the country's recent elections
is "something new in this space" and not a positive precedent, expert tells JNS."
