Reaction by political analysts
But what is more worrying for the President is, Israeli actors are already working on the ground to break the peace plan.
It has become clear to the US administration, that their biggest challenge to peace in the middle east is Israel.
In the past, that was not considered a problem, but now, you have all the regional powers in the middle east on one side and Israel on the other, the falling approval ratings for Israeli action in Gaza and the toxic association of Israel.
Just ahead of the midterms, which will ultimately determine how this relationship continues; If pro-Israeli Senators get pummelled in the elections, you can bet your bottom dollar, their will be a new policy in the middle east.
Bibi avoids New York
President Donald Trump clarifies that Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s campaign to “bring the International Criminal Court to heel” is intended to protect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others facing ICC scrutiny.
Speaking at Camp David, Rubio said: “The International Criminal Court has made themselves illegitimate because they claim that even if you’re not a member of that court, we can come after you… They’re very arrogant. So we’ve now begun an effort to really try to bring them to heel.”
Trump interjected to make Rubio’s objective clear: “He’s trying to defend Bibi and various other people.” The U.S. President said Rubio’s campaign against the ICC has nothing to do with protecting him.
