Bibi's Cynical Tour

The man sure can speak. Never mind that his main (only) goal is his political survival. Never mind that in Congress he spoke to Israeli voters and not to Americans, who have very different agendas. Bibi "pledged in a scathing speech to Congress on Wednesday to achieve 'total victory' against Hamas and denounced American opponents of the war in Gaza as 'idiots,' taking a combative stance in a visit the Biden administration has hoped will yield progress in negotiations to end the fighting.

Yesterday, "Netanyahu used the high-profile address to a joint meeting of Congress to emphasize longstanding and close ties between the United States and Israel. But the speech put in sharp relief the divisions in American society stirred by the war, with dozens of Democratic lawmakers boycotting the address and thousands of protesters outside the Capitol condemning the war and the humanitarian crisis created by it."

It is clear that with his weak position at home and the majority of Israelis calling for his resignation, he was mindful to compliment both current and former administrations. He continued to do so today in a personal meeting with President Biden. A meeting with the vice president, who could not attend yesterday’s session, is scheduled as is one with former President Trump at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow. This is a significant domestic victory for the prime minister with plenty of pictures to be used for weeks. Astute Israel journalists made a point of reminding everyone that Bibi’s son celebrates his birthday tomorrow in the luxury Miami hotel he has called home for months. The state-funded birthday and weekend stay is very much in line with the Bibi we know. Shortly after his speech Israeli forces were able to secure and bring back the bodies of five of the hostages, with the operation delayed so as not to conflict with the theatrics in Washington.
