To keep the relationship with Israel robust, Biden aides say they need to limit its far-right excesses, and they see Netanyahu as their best conduit to exert such influence. Netanyahu — who previously held the prime minister role for a total of 15 years — has known Biden for decades, but the two have had their differences as the Israeli leader has swung ever more rightward, meaning he can’t count on the U.S. president to let him off easy., the left-leaning Jewish organization, Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed that the U.S. commitment to Israel’s security remains “ironclad” and that America respects the “democratic choice of the Israeli people.
The makeup of the potential Israeli government was a topic of a recent meeting of deputies of various agencies and departments under the umbrella of the White House National Security Council. Some analysts are skeptical that the pressure on Netanyahu will lead to policies that further U.S. aims. They note that the Israeli politician, who is nothing if not a survivor, is likely to find ways to use the far-right politicians to further his own political goals.
