AIPAC has long been Israel’s most ardent advocate in Washington, but it seems to be taking a hands off approach with recent Netanyahu policies
Israel’s main advocate in Washington has reportedly told lawmakers they will not object if they criticise the Netanyahu government’s planned annexation of the occupied West Bank, but warned that the criticism should not go any further.
Put forward by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but backed by his coalition partner and political nemesis, Benny Gantz, the plan is seen as the biggest test of the relationship between the international community and Israel in decades. There’s no doubt AIPAC is the most ardent supporter of Israel in Washington, taking an immeasurably more uncritical line than other Jewish lobby groups, such as J-Street.
“While we are under no illusions about the implacably hostile views of Reps. Omar and Tlaib on Israel-related issues, we nonetheless believe that the costs in the U.S. of barring the entry of two members of Congress may prove even higher than the alternative." AIPAC said in a statement at the time.of Netanyahu for his decision to draw closer to far-right Kahanist-linked groups.
