Rahm Emanuel Says Israel’s Path Is “Not Sustainable Politically”

O tym odcinku

<p>Rahm Emanuel is a Democratic Party elder, having served in the Clinton and Obama Administrations and as mayor of his native Chicago for two terms. He’s a centrist known for valuing political wins over ideology, making it especially notable that Emanuel recently gave a blistering speech in Israel, calling the country’s path “not sustainable politically.” He says that the United States should no longer grant Israel unconditional military support, and explains his own plan for a diplomatic Middle East solution that he calls a “twenty-three-state solution.” Emanuel, who hasn’t formally announced but appears to have embarked on a campaign for the 2028 Presidency, defends his position on trans rights, which has angered many on the left, and his contention that the Democratic Party is overly concerned with identity politics. </p> <p>Further reading: </p> <ul> <li>“<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/why-declaring-chicago-a-trump-free-zone-isnt-enough" rel="noopener noreferrer">Trump and Rahm Emanuel Both Love a Fight, Especially Against Each Other</a>,” by Susan B.
