Sec. Blinken says the U.S. will continue to support Israel despite its differences with Prime Minister-elect Netanyahu.
Speaking to a left-leaning group that some on the right accuse of being too sympathetic to the Palestinians and Iran, Blinken said the United States will remain a stalwart friend of Israel even as it pursues goals that Netanyahu has opposed, including a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a restoration of the languishing 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
But, Blinken also warned that the U.S. would object to policies that marginalize the Palestinians, diminish their “horizon for hope,” or make a two-state resolution more difficult. He said those would be detrimental to Israel’s long-term security or future as a Jewish democratic state. U.S. officials have previously expressed concerns about the possible positions in Netanyahu’s government of at least two right-wing Israeli politicians: Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.
