Is Bibi damaging Israeli ties with US?
The Stream discusses how the Israeli PM is influencing relations between Washington DC and Tel Aviv.
Hostile exchanges between the White House and the Israeli government escalated ahead of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s US Congress address. Thirty-four US lawmakers are skipping the speech, which is expected to criticise US efforts to negotiate a nuclear deal with Iran. Online hashtags #BibiDoesntSpeakForMe & #SkipTheSpeech trended in opposition as well. At 19:30GMT, we discuss Netanyahu’s influence on US-Israel ties.
