Even setting ethics aside, I can't believe the Biden admin trusts Bibi anymore. He will do absolutely anything as long as it helps him cling to power, including going back on assurances, blindsiding anyone, and stabbing them in the back. He will coo Biden one day and endorse Trump the next, or vice versa. As long as it helps him.
I don't understand how Israelis keep voting him in either.
And do Republicans really support him so much these days? Why? I don't see how he aligns with the MAGA movement, why these candidates need to please him so desperately. Same with Israel friendly Democrats?
They aren't exactly voting him in. Israel operates under a parliamentary system, not a presidential one.
Between 2018 and 2022, Israel had 5 elections because they were unable to form a government. No political party held an outright majority of parliament, so to form a government, they needed to form a coalition between multiple parties. Historically, this had gone fine, but during this period the more liberal parties adopted an "anyone but Bibi" stance, and refused to join in a coalition led by Netanyahu. Similarly, Netenyahu's party, Likud, representing about 25% of parliament, dug in and refused to remove Netenyahu from being party leader, and the other conservative parties joined in and refused to join a non Netenyahu coalition. With the Arab parties forming a third wing, neither side was able to get to 50% to form a government.
Ultimately, Likud and the conservative parties ended up winning this fight, but only by joining with far right parties that were previously to extreme for Israeli politics.
But what about in the US?
I am in the US south, I have some super religious family, and more liberal family. And I don't even know people that are like "Yeah, we're all for Bibi!"
