Prime Minister Naftali Bennett

Tit for tat or business as usual? AOC vows to block U.S. missile sales to Israel as Prime Minister Bennett says no to a Palestinian state

AOC vows to block U.S. missile sales to Israel as Prime Minister Bennett says no to a Palestinian state
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, congressional representative, along with several other progressive reps., is trying to halt the U.S. sale of missiles to Israel. The claim is that such missiles were used against Gaza the last time around and could be used like that again. This is a harder line of offense than is usual from the U.S. House. Meanwhile, an equally hard line has been taken by Israeli Prime Minister, Neftali Bennett, in claiming to put an end to any idea of a Palestinian state, whether part of a two-state or single Israeli-Palestinian state solution. Contributing writer, John Mason, takes us into the heart of this frayed issue.

New Israeli Prime Minister has discussions with the White House—with few prospects for the Palestinians

Israeli Prime Minister Bennet arrived in Washington last week to remake the U.S.-Israel relationship following the Trump-Netanyahu years of bias totally favoring Israel. Bennett’s one ‘concession’ to Biden was that he would not attempt to annex the West Bank. Because Bennet controls the Knesset by only one vote, he is in no position to make big promises anyway, but he has no intention of doing anything for the Palestinians, given his animosity towards them and his extreme anti-peace and anti-state stance. Contributing writer John Mason discusses this purely symbolic visit.
