Re: Statement of President Biden Regarding the State of Israel and the Netanyahu Government
I am writing to you following the statement made by President Biden regarding the State of Israel and to the Netanyahu government yesterday.
At this time, I feel that the statement given yesterday crossed a red line in the relationship between our two great countries.
Friends do not act like this towards each other. We do not intervene in each other's actions. The spirit of democracy is to allow a nation to define its own future. The accusations made by President Biden were a blatant intervention in Israel's democratic process by criticizing internal issues that should be defined in an internal manner.
I write to you this urgent message to you both Democrats and Republicans. Israel has always been a bipartisan state and the cooperation between our countries is of significant importance. This cooperation must continue with respect to the democratic processes taking place in both.
As a fellow member of the legislative branch, we know very well that part of our duty is to oversee the actions taken by the executive branch. Please use all the tools at your disposal to ensure these types of problematic statements do not happen again.
