Opinion | Reading a warning for Israeli-US relations | Israel Today

She supported the Mavi Marmara flotilla and expressed support for violent opposition to Israeli rule in Judea and Samaria.


The task assigned to Mike Herzog, the new ambassador to the United States, is heavier than that imposed on his predecessors. Improved to curb nuclear policy?

And another challenge for Herzog: Should the formula of the past be revived in Congress - that is, the principle of a two-party policy that supports Israel?

These important issues require close Israeli-American cooperation. Do not be jealous of issues of yoke, which will participate in formulating a revised definition of Allied relations in order to minimize the gap between them. And until the two big missions are achieved, another note worthy of the attention of Israeli fans in Washington: A few days ago, an American-Palestinian political activist announced her candidacy for a seat in the House of Representatives. The candidate on her own behalf, from the Democratic Party, is Waida Araf, from the state of Michigan. Previously, who would have believed that anyone who strives to be elected to the House of Representatives announces support for the Palestinian side, to the point of justifying "violent opposition" to Israeli rule in Judea and Samaria? It is also one of the founders of the International Solidarity Movement The most significant Israelis in the United States. Araf also supported the "Free Gaza" movement that sent the Marmara ship to the shores of Gaza, before it was taken over by IDF forces.

The important journalist Jeffrey Goldberg has already defined the "International Solidarity Movement" as a body that aims to eliminate Israel as a home for the Jewish people.

And if Araf, the new candidate for Congress, overcomes her rival, the incumbent Republican, she could join a group called "the squad" - the same group of delegates and delegates in Congress from the Democratic faction, some of whom are Muslims.

This cohesive group distributes anti-Israel propaganda that receives prominent media coverage in the United States, and its members succeeded in thwarting security assistance to Israel (in another vote, the initiative failed).

If Araf is elected, the left-wing socialist wing of the Democratic Party will be strengthened.

There were days in the United States when condemnations of Israel did not star in the run-up to an elected term. Their sympathy for the Palestinian side.

Araf's views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have not been highlighted since it announced its candidacy.

We will soon know whether the candidate's views on the Palestinian issue are helpful or harmful to Michigan voters.

Araf's daring run for a seat in Congress (and other like-minded people) is a red sign, perhaps a hint to come.

Relations between Iran and the United States reinforce the need to refresh the principle of a two-party policy toward Israel. All of this dictates to Ambassador Herzog a challenging and rigid agenda, with a tremendous effort to stop Israel from slipping into severe friction in relations with its ally.
