ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA Nicki Haley & Sen. Rubio Slam Biden for Rebuke of Netanyahu Over Judicial Overhaul By TOI Staff and Jacob Magid (MARCH 30, 2023 / TIMES OF ISRAEL) White House Republican hopeful Nikki Haley and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio bashed U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday for his rebuke of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government’s highly contentious judicial overhaul. “It’s outrageous for Joe Biden to lecture Israel on a matter that is entirely their domestic concern,” Haley tweeted. “We would never want the Israeli government to push America on issues surrounding our Supreme Court, and they wouldn’t do it. We should let Israelis decide this themselves.” Haley, a former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador during the Donald Trump administration, has long touted her pro-Israel bona fides as part of her campaign to get the top slot on the Republican Party’s ticket for the 2024 election. However, she faces competition from, among others, her former boss and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Biden is widely assumed to be running for re-election. Meanwhile, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who has previously expressed discomfort over the security situation unfolding amid the Israeli government’s plan to shackle the High Court, suggested that Biden’s comments constituted a threat to Israel. “If during these already dangerous days Israel is attacked by Hezbollah, Hamas or Iran it will be because Joe Biden decided to involve himself in Israeli politics,” Rubio tweeted. South Carolina’s Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has also showed discomfort with the plan, wrote as part of a series of tweets about a call he had with Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, that “Israel and the United States have an unbreakable bond.” READ MORE Join the extraordinary ZOA Israel Mission and meet exclusively with Israeli elected officials!
