The red line that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drew yesterday in front of the Biden administration, following the US joining the Security Council's condemnation resolution on the settlements issue, has long been requested against the background of the blatant, not to say brazen, intervention of the Americans in Israel's internal affairs, in the issue of legal reform.
He arrived too late precisely on the issue of the settlements, following the Security Council decision supported by the US, which ignores the Palestinian terrorist attacks, the glorification of terror and terrorists in the Palestinian Authority and the daily incitement there to kill Jews.
The largest democracy in the world, it must be said with regret, bears the name of democracy in vain.
It does not respect the results of the elections in Israel, and the internal democratic process that took place and continues here.
Furthermore: the formula invented by the Biden administration in recent months, of sharing and supporting Israel only on the basis of "shared democratic values", is an unreal formula.
The US invests in Israel not only because of the "shared values", but mainly because of the shared interests, and these are many and varied.
common interests.

The reprimands of Ambassador Neidas in Israel radiate paternalism and hypocrisy.
The US has not bothered to intervene with other countries in the Middle East, which it assists in many and varied fields, where there is no democracy at all, whose courts are often sham courts, whose rulings are dictated by the government and where human rights have been trampled on for many years. This is what worries Naides, Blinken and Biden is Israeli democracy and the regime here.
If on the settlement issue we have "become accustomed" to frequent confrontations with democratic administrations and compromise formulas, such as the one published yesterday (freezing for several months the training of additional outposts), then the involvement of the US in the story of the reform in Israel should be rejected by the opposition and coalition, both supporters and opponents of the reform. Since it constitutes a dangerous precedent, which may lead to interference in other significant internal issues of the State of Israel.
Despite the military, intelligence and economic dependence on the US, even among allies, there should be rules of the game. In recent months, the Americans are the ones breaking them, time and time again.
