Netanyahu and Democrats duel

Monday 9 February 2015
Netanyahu and Democrats duel

Alwaght- Both Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his party Likud have extremely angered American Democrat Party. The rift emerging between both parties is not only because of the Zionist regime Prime Minister's speech in American Congress, about Iran, but also because of the strong political ties that have been established between the Likud Party and the American Republicans.

Netanyahu has been recently raising the voice openly against Democrats being in power. Netanyahu had put the Democrats and the American administration, including Barak Obama, in the dark through accepting John Boehner’s invitation to speak to congress about Iran.  In this situation, the US administration has chosen to deal with Netanyahu, and support his rivals in Israeli regime's elections following the speech.  The meeting between US Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of State John Kerry and with Zionist opposition leader Isaac Herzog on Saturday, was in this regard. The meeting was held in a hallway of the Munich Security Conference, and such meeting is carefully choreographed. “Criticizing Netanyahu” accounted for the main axis of the relevant meeting of senior officials in the White House with Herzog. The latter US administration personnel had previously refused to meet with the Israeli regime's Prime Minister.

Munich’s meeting between Kerry, Biden and one the rivals of Netanyahu indicates that the White House officials now support Herzog, or in other words support "Herzog-Livni" coalition to win elections in the occupied Palestinian territories in March. Therefore, this meeting can be viewed as summit between the next forthcoming Prime Minister and US officials. This step by the American administration should be analyzed furthermore. Moreover, considering the opposite point, if Likud coalition triumphs the elections in the occupied Palestinian territories, the rift would grow between Washington and Tel Aviv.

Netanyahu’s presence in the Republican Representatives occupied Congress will set the basis of creating a permanent link between Likud and Republican Americans. The Foreign Policy magazine notes that the Democrats boycott Netanyahu speech comes in this context. 

Biden, who says he will miss Israeli regime's Prime Minister’s speech due to travel, will leave his chair behind Netanyahu for a Republican Senate, to sit in the position of President of the Senate.

Before Netanyahu, Israeli regime Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman had revealed openly his support to the Republicans and the American neoconservatives.

During the American elections in 2012, Netanyahu supported Obama’s rival in the elections, the Republican Candidate Mitt Romney, but eventually Obama won the polls. Netanyahu’s support for Mitt Romney led to his criticism by many Zionist and American politicians due to his simultaneous reduction of the overall relations between Tel Aviv and Washington to party affiliations. Yet Netanyahu, at the beginning of 2015, continues to follow the same trend of the last three years. On the other hand, Democrats continue to back rivals of Netanyahu, the Hatnva and Labor parties. These American-Israeli regime parties’ alliances and support will further strengthen, as we get closer to elections in the occupied Palestinian territories. 

Moreover, the opposition between right wing and left wing in the occupied territories, and their coalitions with both Republicans and Democrats respectively, is not enclosed in the current period. Both Obama and Netanyahu started up this rivalry, which will continue among their successors in the coming years after they leave their offices.
