Wendy Sherman: Netanyahu Is Playing to the Far-Right Audience

EXCERPT:

SHERMAN: "You know, the U.N. General Assembly is really a terrific opportunity to try to do something like this, because all the leaders are there, all the diplomats are there, you can really run around the rooms and try to move forward. So I’m going to remain hopeful that the administration, at the very least, is trying to do this, which they are doing. And I’m a little surprised, because the administration’s been quite clear that they would not have proceeded without the tacit support of the prime minister in Israel. He seems to be pulling back from that. He’s playing, I think, to his own audience, which is to the far-right, keeping his political coalition together. And I hope, however, that he understands there’s a legacy issue here. Yes, absolutely, everything he needs to do to ensure Israel’s security, but in my view, I think in the view of Kamala Harris, a two-state solution, a horizon for the Palestinians is critical.“
