Democrats have had a hard time standing behind Barrack Obama's decision to publicly support Isreal. Benjamin Netanyahu is Isreal's current prime minister and a prominent politician. His speech about proposed deals with Iran sparked criticism around Washington and American Jewish communities. Democrat and House minority leader Nancy Pelosi from California invited the Prime Minister without speaking with the White House at first. President Obama's reaction to the invitation is that he is not telling the Democratic representatives to go or not to go. He is leaving the decision's up to them. A Democratic boycott could be a bad thing for the international relations with Isreal. Not only will the Prime Minister feel un-welcomed and shaky about the relationship with the United States but the people of Isreal will feel the same. If President Obama does not have the support from his party then it could mean a bump in the road to their international relationship.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel. It was the House Speaker, John Boehner and Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer. They asked Netanyahu to speak before Congress about the dangers that Iran poses. Netanyahu believes that Obama is naive in his relations with Iran. Obama is trying to conclude a deal about curbing nuclear programs in Iran. Apparently, Obama wasn’t informed of Netanyahu’s speech. Obama denied the Oval Office meeting with Netanyahu. Obama and his aides are not pushing anyone to go to the speech. But Obama isn’t pushing anyone to go to the speech as well. The implications of the Democratic boycott will include: a severed relationship between America and Israel. This may lead to no more bipartisan relationships.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. Netanyahu is doing a public speech on March 3rd, to many of the Democrats’ disappointment. Members of the Democratic Party are threatening not to attend Netanyahu’s address to Congress because the relationship between him and the President. President Obama has been trying to close a deal with Iran to close its nuclear programs, but Netanyahu greatly opposes. He has called the President naive, much to the displeasure of many Democrats. Vice President Joe Biden has already declared his absence to the address. House Speaker John Boehner, the Republican representative from Ohio, and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer provided the platform for which Netanyahu would be able to discuss the dangers in negotiating with Iran. President Obama does not necessarily like the invitation from Netanyahu. Netanyahu was already denied an appointment with Obama in the Oval Office and the Democratic Party has not told any of its representatives to go to the address. If the Democrats decide not to attend Netanyahu’s address it will show that the two powers are not necessarily on good terms. We already know that the Democratic Party does not agree with him declaring an address during this time of election and they feel it is not wise for them to go. The relationship between the two nations will not be as stable as it was before.
ReplyDeleteMore than a handful of House Democrats, including Joe Biden, are saying that they won’t be attending the address on March 3. Benjamin Netanyahu, who is the prime minster of Israel, will be addressing Congress on this day. John Boehner, the House Speaker, and Ron Dermer, the Israeli Ambassador, devised Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech. The Republicans instructed him to address Congress because they wanted Congress to be aware of the deal with Iran. President Obama is indifferent towards the invitation. Obama recently denied meeting Benjamin Netanyahu while he was in Washington DC and he is neither telling Democrats that they should or shouldn’t go to the address on March 3. As of Tuesday though, many Democrats and Jewish members will not be attending Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech. A Democratic boycott will put a damper on the United States and Israeli relationship. The relationship is currently stronger than it has been in the past so boycotting the speech could alter it for the worse. But some say that boycotting the speech could be a good thing because according to Dylan Williams (director of government affairs) “it’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy.”

ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Israeli Prime Minister. President Obama has been working with Iran to make a deal to stop its nuclear programs over great opposition from Netanyahu. House Speaker John Boehner invited Netanyahu to speak on a prominent Washington platform before Congress to address what he sees as dangers of the proposed deal with Iran. It also appears that this meeting is based on the perception that Obama was weakened after the Democratic defeat in the midterm elections. Not to mention, this meeting is also scheduled to take place just two weeks before Netanyahu faces reelection, and is suspected to be an effort to gain support in his political campaign. Obama has complained of a breach in protocol concerning the invitation to Netanyahu to speak before Congress, because Speaker Boehner invited him to speak without first consulting him. The White House issued a statement saying that they leave it to Democratic members to decide whether they will attend the speech or not. In light of this statement, many Democrats have stated that they plan to leave the Prime Minister in front of a lot of empty seats. Though the left-leaning Israel advocacy group has not been telling members of Congress to skip the speech, they have promoted an email urging Boehner to move the speech until after the Israeli elections. The implications that a Democratic boycott would create for international relations with Israel is that it may create a partisan relationship between America and Israel. It may create a stronger relationship between Republicans and Israeli officials than between American and Israeli officials. It is imperative to American officials that we keep our relationship with Israel bipartisan.
ReplyDeleteThis article discusses a dozen of house democrats that are planning on skipping the March 3rd address according to the lawmakers and the aides. Many of the democrats are trying to support Israel while at the same time staying close to what Obama agrees or disagrees with. The article states that Obama is trying to make a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear programs over vehement opposition from Netanyahu, who has expressed concerns that the U.S. president is being naive. Benjamin Netanyahu is not only an Israeli politician and the current Prime Minister of Israel. He also currently serves as a member of the Knesset, Chairman of the Likud party and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. The republicans told him to speak. The article states, "The speech was devised by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer to provide Netanyahu a prominent Washington platform to warn about the dangers of the proposed deal with Iran." President Obama denied an Oval Office meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu which makes it seem that he does not really want to be invited. The article says that throughout Obama's time in office, the prime minister has elbowed his way into American politics to corner and game the president. This time, without much nudging from the White House beyond a complaint about breached protocol, Netanyahu’s speech has sparked criticism across Washington and in the American Jewish community as well as among diplomats, Israeli officials and domestic political opponents who include his own former ambassador to Washington. I believe that this means that Obama is not very happy with this and is annoyed by them. Some implications that may occur for international relations with Israel is that many people will begin to criticize this and it will become globally known. A man said, “Frankly, the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute,” Engel said. “I care about the U.S.-Israel relationship. It has always been bipartisan and will continue to be.” Therefore, we know that the United States relationship with Israel will remain strong.
ReplyDeleteTrying to close a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear programs, Democrats have had to balance the support of Israel with backing Obama. Benjamin Netanyahu is the current Israeli Prime Minister. Invited by House Speaker John Boehner, Netanyahu is wanted to give a speech to warn about the dangers of a proposed deal with Iran and to express a perception that Obama was weakened after midterm elections gave Republicans control of both houses. Netanyahu has expressed concerns that the President is being naïve with the situation. As the prime minister’s speech has sparked controversy and criticism throughout Washington and in American Jewish Communities, President Obama states that he will not tell Democrats to attend or not, that it is their decision. Vice President Joe Biden and his office won’t commit to the decision making process and have not released nor made and final decisions about attending. Many Democrats, including Jewish members, have said that it is likely that the Prime Minister will be looking at a good amount of empty seats. Though some say that it is not an official boycott, the uproar of the invitation has made Israelis worried, hoping that the situation will be resolved before the attendance of the Prime Minister. With the criticism among reps., its clear that the relationship is not about honoring the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. Meanwhile reps. also state that “the strong U.S.-Israeli relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute. It has always been bipartisan and will continue to be.”
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Israeli prime minister. The speech was devised by House Speaker John Boehner and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer. Multiple democrats are choosing not to go the speech. Benjamin has already been denied an oval office meeting with Obama. This democratic boycott is bringing Israel a negative feel with them. Not all democrats, however, are backing away from the invitation. This isn't the only priority on Obama's mind. He's closing in on a deal with Iran on nuclear weapons.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu, also known as Bibi, is an Israeli politician and the current Prime Minister of Israel. Mr. Netanyahu is also currently serving as a member of the Knesset, Chairman of the Likud party and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. The House of Democrats are thinking about skipping the March 3rd address because of the relationship between Israeli prime minister and President Barack Obama. Their relationship isn’t that great according to lawmakers and aides. Mr. Nethanyahu has already been denied an Oval Office meeting with Obama. Like the article said “Netanyahu’s already been denied an Oval Office meeting with Obama. Secretary of State John Kerry has no plans to meet with him while he’s in town, a State Department official told POLITICO on Tuesday.” Benjamin’s speech has sparked criticism across Washington and in the American Jewish community. The president’s reaction to the invitation was that he is not telling Democrats to skip the speech, but his isn’t telling Democrats not to go either. So pretty much, the president is not telling them what to do, they have a choice if they want to attend or not. A Democratic boycott would be a bad thing because currently the relationship is strong as of right now, and boycotting the speech could alter the relationship into a bad one. In the article it stated “Frankly, the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute,” Engel said. “I care about the U.S.-Israel relationship. It has always been bipartisan and will continue to be.” Which means that the United States and Israel will have a strong and good relationship.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is an Israeli politician and the current Prime Minister of Israel. He also currently serves as a member of the Knesset, Chairman of the Likud party and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. House speaker John Boehner and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer both asked Netanyahu to speak on the dangers of the proposed deal with Iran. President Obama has been working with Iran, trying to make a deal with them to stop their nuclear operations with Netanyahu opposing. While Netanyahu thinks Obama is naive in his relations with Iran. Obama was apparently uniformed about Netanyahus speech and he is not urging anyone to attend. Netanyahus was already denied an appointment to the Oval office to meet with the President. Joe Biden already said he will not be attending the address. And if none of the democrats show up that is bound to break the Israeli and American relations even more.
ReplyDeleteOn March third many democrats, along with the Vice President Joe Biden, are planning on skipping a speech for a joint meeting of Congress with Benjamin Netanyahu, who is the current prime minister of Israel. While President Obama is on the way to making a deal with Iran to restrict their nuclear programs, Democrats of the House have to find a way to equally support Israel while still supporting the President. After reaching out to the Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer, together the Speaker of the House John Boehner arranged for the Prime Minister to speak before Congress. This being the lowest point of their relationship, it’s no surprise that they aren't on good terms, judging off the fact that Netanyahu has been denied a meeting with President Obama in the Oval Office already. Obama and his cabinet aren't trying to tell the other Democrats in congress not to attend the speech, but aren't saying to go either, “We defer to Democratic member if they’d like to attend or not.” Many of the Democratic representatives feel indifferent about it and some have not preference whether to go or not. “It wouldn't be an official boycott. I wouldn't announce that I wasn't going,” says Representative John Yarmuth from Kentucky. Many are urging John Boehner to postpone their speech until after the Israeli elections if it isn't going to be canceled. “Frankly, the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived sight or dispute… It has always been bipartisan and will continue to be,” says Representative Eliot Engel of New York. But if Obama doesn't do something to show some kind of interest, than the relationship with Israel with just continue to get worse and maybe affect other international relationships.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. Since Netanyahu was asked by John Boehner, House Speaker, and Ron Dermer, Israeli Ambassador, on March 3rd he will give a public speech. President Obama is not taking sides toward the invitation but doesn't particularly like it either . Obama recently denied meeting Benjamin Netanyahu while he was in Washington DC and he is neither telling Democrats that they should or shouldn’t go. A Democratic boycott will weaken the relationship between United States and Israeli. The relationship is currently stronger than it has been in the past so boycotting the speech could alter it for the worse. But according to Dylan Williams, the director of government affairs “it’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy.” So some say that boycotting the speech could be good.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is currently the Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. On March 3rd, Netanyahu is holding a public speech, leading to the discouragement for the Democrats to attend. Many of the Democrats claimed not to attend because of the relationship he has with the President. President Obama has been working with Iran to create a deal that stops the nuclear programs, but Netanyahu opposed the Presidents opposition. Netanyahu has expressed that the Presidents is being naïve with the situation, offending many Democrats. Vice President Joe Biden has already announced his absence from the address. From Netanyahu’s speech creating controversy and criticism throughout all of Washington and in American Jewish communities, President Obama states that he will not tell Democrats to attend or not, that it is their own decision. President Obama is neutral towards the invitation; he denied meeting Netanyahu while he was in Washington DC. A Democratic boycott would put stress on the situation, weakening the relationship between the United States and Israel. This is the strongest relationship the two have had up until this time, but boycotting it might reverse all the progress we’ve made. But, it could also become a positive thing by boycotting the speech. According to Dylan Williams, director of government affairs, “it’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy.”
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is a politician and the current prime minister of Israeli. He is said to have an address on March 3rd, next month, and dozens of House Democrats are privately threatening to skip it. The House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer advised Netanyahu to go in front of Congress. They wanted to provide him a prominent Washington platform to warn about the dangers of the proposed deal with Iran. The relationship between Obama and Netanyahu isn't the greatest according to lawmakers and aides. Netanyahu’s already been denied an Oval Office meeting with Obama. Secretary of State John Kerry has no plans to meet with him while he’s in town. The prime minister has elbowed his way into American politics to corner and game the president. The president and his aides aren't telling Democrats to skip the speech, but they aren't telling them to go either. Ever since the uproar over the invitation first exploded two weeks ago, the Israelis have worked to try to quash any question of partisan maneuvering. A Democratic boycott will create a bad relationship with international realations with Israel. Right now the relationship we have with Israel is strong, in fact the strongest it's been despite any arguments or disputes we have with them. If we boycott them then we are breaking that relationship and make it bad. “Frankly, the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute,” Engel said. “I care about the U.S.-Israel relationship. It has always been bipartisan and will continue to be.”
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is Israeli's prime minister. The House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) asked him to speak in Washington. They wanted him to talk on the deal with Iran and the dangers it may have. The President won't tell the Democrats not to go and to go either. But recently he denied to meet with Netanyahu while he was in Washington. Having a democratic boycott would create weaker relationship with Israeli than today, and also showing how they feel towards them. Some say its not about honoring U.S- Israel special relationship. It's about taking advantage of it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy.

ReplyDeleteFor those who don't know who Benjamin Netanyahu is, he is the Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. House speaker John Boehner and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer asked Mr. Netanyahu to speak before congress. What president Obama thinks about this invitation is he seems not to have been updated since November, when Obama’s own poll numbers started moving up again, and though Netanyahu’s Likud Party is still leading in Israeli polls miscalculated the backlash in Israel from putting his relationship with the American president on the line. Throughout Obama’s time in office, the prime minister has elbowed his way into American politics to corner and game the president as said in the article.The implications that a Democratic boycott will create for international relations with Israel is make it weaker “It’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy is what they feel he is doing.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the current prime minister of Israel. The person who devised the plan for him to speak before Congress is John Boehner and Ron Dermer who is an Ambassador for Israel. However, Benjamin Netanyahu proposed deals with Iran that involved nuclear activity and this made Obama skeptical, and people of the Jewish community. A Democratic boycott may create tension between us and Israel but we have a strong bond that would be hard to destroy. Hopefully this doesn't escalate into something ugly.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Israeli Prime Minister. The speech easy devised by House Speaker John Boehner and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dormer. President Obama is trying to close a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear programs, and this negotiation is facing a deadline at the end of march. Through this speech Netanyahu would be provided a prominent Washington platform to warn about the dangers of the proposal deal with Iran. Netanyahu was denied an Oval Office meeting with Obama. The President did not make it clear whether he would attend his speech or not. If a Democratic boycott were to take place, the US-Israel relationship would be weakened and so would the President's foreign policy.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel and also the Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. The House Speaker, Ron Dermer, John Boehner, the Israeli Ambassador devised Netanyahu to speak before Congress on March 3rd because they wanted the whole Congress to hear the deal with Iran. President Obama is not happy about this invitation, so he tells the Democratic Representatives to go or not to go to the speech. It's all up to them. Obama has been working with the Iran's by trying to make a deal to stop their nuclear operations but Netanyahu opposed. Netanyahu then called the President naïve, which had the Democrats unpleased.The implications that a Democratic boycott will create for international relations with Israel is horrible thing the speech could make the relationship into a terrible one. For example while I was reading, the article stated “Frankly, the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute." This means that right now, the relationship is strong.

Furthermore, the relationship between President Obama and Netanyahu has been in bad shape considering the criticism expressed towards Obama from Netanyahu. Obama doesn't seem to be enforcing attendance to Netanyahu's address. A Democratic boycott may create heavy tension between US-Israel relations. On the other hand, the U.S. continues to uphold a bipartisan relationship with Israel.

ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is currently the Prime Minister of Israel as well as a prominent politician for Israel. House Speaker John Boehner and the Israeli Ambassador, Ron Dermer, were the ones who provided Netanyahu a prominent platform to speak before Congress. President Obama’s response along with his aides won’t tell Democrats to skip the speech, however they aren’t telling Democrats to go, either. He is leaving the decisions up to them. Several representatives have decided not to attend for example, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) said he’s considered not going and he stated “I just don’t know if it’s the proper response or not.” The Implications that a Democratic boycott created for international relations with Israel is that there is a deep seated debate that will be addressed between the bipartisan advocates that will continue until Netenyahu arrives. Officials show their full gratitude for the well considered topic as they have stated “We appreciate the freat bipartisan support for Israel in Congress and hope that members of Congress will be willing to listen to the prime minister on an issue that threatens America’s national security and Israel’s very survival.”
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the prime minister to Israel. The Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and Israeli Ambassador, Ron Dermer, had asked the prime minister to speak before Congress. President Obama remains neutral about the invitation even though he, and other aides, are not advising to attend or not. However, other representatives seem to be upset, especially since the Speaker of the House did not inform Congress of this invitation. With a Democratic boycott, this will create tension with relations to Israel, even though the US and Israel have always had a strong relationship. This could strengthen a relation with the Republican party though. I think our relation will still remain strong and this may be less about the speech and more about the conflict between the parties and the neglect of proper protocol.

ReplyDeleteThe current prime minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs is a man named Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli Ambassador and the speaker of the house had asked him to speak before congress to address the dangers posed by Iran. The President has not remained neutral to the invitation of the prime minister. He has not told Democrats to go or not to go, he wants them to decide on their own. If there is a democratic boycott, it'll do a lot of harm between the two countries, Israel and the United States. This may cause the stopping of bipartisan relationship.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahuu is the current prime minister of Isreal. He is also the minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. Mr Netanyahu was asked to speak before congress by John Boehner The House speaker and Ambassador Ron Drmer. President Obama has made clear that he would like Israel to stop their nuclear program but Netanyahu refuses naturally. With that Obama isn't urging anyone to attend Netanyahu's speech. The implications of the boycott from the Democrats may lead to a more "hostile" relationship with Isreal since some trusts and friendly relations has been tainted.

Benjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel. Democrat and House minority leader Nancy Pelosi from California invited the Prime Minister without speaking with the White House at first. The president and his aides won't tell Democrats to skip the speech. But they aren’t telling Democrats to go, either. The showdown puts the White House in a position it isn’t much used to with Netanyahu: appearing to have the political edge. This move will strain the relationship with israel and the Democrats but not with the republicans. - Sam Mohammed

He is leaving the decision's up to them. If the Democrats decide not to attend Netanyahu’s address it will show that the two powers are not necessarily on good terms. A boycott would be a really bad thing because the current relationship is strong as of right now, and boycotting the speech could alter the relationship for the worse, which isn't good.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the prime minister of Israeli. House speaker John Boehner and Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer asked him to speak before congress. President Obama is not happy about this invitation as he is trying to close a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear programs over vehement opposition from Netanyahu but Obama and his aides won't tell democrats to skip the speech. But they aren't telling them to go, either. Implications that democratic boycott will create for international relations with isreal would be the lowest point of a relationship between the Israeli prime minister and president Obama which is never good and it could also create a partisan relationship between America and isreal.

ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. John Boehner, the House Speaker, and Ron Dermer, proposed that Benjamin Netanyahu give a speech. Republicans wanted him to address Congress because they wanted them to understand the deal with Iran. President Obama has been trying to make a deal with Iran to close its nuclear programs, but Netanyahu disagrees with this proposal. If the Democrats decide not to go to Netanyahu’s address it will show that the two powers are not necessarily on the same side and the relationship between the two nations will not be as stable as it once was.
The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu was invited to speak before congress by speaker of the house John Boehner. Democrats aren't very happy and Obama is neither telling them to or not to go. If the democrats don't have his back regarding an international relationship with Israel, the president is going to have a very difficult time.
ReplyDeleteAccording to lawmakers, dozens of house democrats are planning on skipping the March 3rd address. Obama is currently trying to make a deal with Iran to curb its nuclear programs over vehement opposition from Netanyahu. Benjamin Netanyahu is a politician and the current Prime Minister of Israel. He also serves as a member of the Knesset, Chairman of the Likud party and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. The Republicans asked Netanyahu to speak in front of Congress in order to fully understand the deal that is taking place with Iran. Netanyahu’s speech has brought about much criticism in Washington and the American Jewish Community. Althought President Obama does not nessacarly like the invasion, he still encouraged the democratic party to go the address. The directior of government affairs, Dylan Williams feels as though the relationship between the two, “it’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy.” Only time will tell what becomes of this.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Natanyahu is Israel's prime minister. House speaker, John Boehner, was involved in arranging the speech. Obama has not spoken out on the situation, which leads me to believe he is either neutral or against it. He seems to be avoiding discussion of his attendance because it puts him in an uncomfortable position. I think it would be wise for some democrats to attend the speech, even if only to avoid conflict. We do not need any more tension with other countries. I think Obama is doing the right thing in avoiding the press. If he does not plan on attending the speech that's fine and he does not need to voice that decision. Sometimes taking the backseat is the smartest thing to do. The speech will blow over and people will stop talking about it. I don't even know why this makes news. Obama does not need to attend everything nor should he have to explain himself. He may just want the day off.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Israeli Prime Minister. The United States House Speaker, John Boehner and the Israeli Ambassador, Ron Dermer, asked Netanyahu to speak to Congress to provide a prominent Washington platform to warn about the dangers of the proposed deal with Iran. The president and his aides won’t tell Democrats to skip the speech. But they aren’t telling Democrats to go, either. If the Democrats go through with "unofficially" boycotting the speech planned to take place on March 3, it will keep the two countries staying on bad terms. They already haven't had a good relationship. Personally, I think it would only be professional and respectful if the Congressmen show up to listen to his speech. An Israeli official said it perfectly when they stated, “We appreciate the great bipartisan support for Israel in Congress and hope that members of Congress will be willing to listen to the prime minister on an issue that threatens America’s national security and Israel’s very survival."

ReplyDeleteWho is Benjamin Netanyahu?? Who asked him to speak before Congress?? What did President Obama think about this invitation?? What implications will a Democratic boycott create for international relations with Israel??
Benjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel. John Boehner invited him to speak in front of Congress. President Obama is indifferent towards the invitation. A Democratic boycott with Israel means that the international relationship with Israel will decease greatly.
The Democrats might skip Benjamin Netanyahu speech. On March 3rd many Democrats, including Joe Biden are planning to skip the speech. Benjamin Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel. President Obama has been trying to close a deal with Iran about their nuclear programs; however Benjamin Netanyahu greatly opposes. The Prime Minister of Israel even called the President, naïve. The Speaker of the House, John Boehner, and the Israeli Ambassador, Ron Dermer are the ones who asked the prime minister to before Congress. They want to discuss the dangers of dealing Iran. Obama has denied the meeting with Netanyahu and he is not telling the Democrats whether or not they should go to the address. The United States’ relation with Israel has been very strong, but the Democrats boycott could make it worse. However, according to the director of government affairs, Dylan Williams believes the boycott is a good thing. The entire ordeal was a plan for the Republicans to undermine the president. Some say that the U.S-Israeli relationship will remain strong. One man has said “Frankly, the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute,”
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the Prime Minister of Israel. The United States House Speaker, John Boehner and the Israeli Ambassador, Ron Dermer, asked Netanyahu to speak to Congress. President Obama is trying to be a neutral party and not tell the democrats to go or not go. The implications of the boycott from the Democrats may lead to a more "hostile" relationship with Israel since some trusts and friendly relations has been tainted.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the prime mister and voice of Isrel. As the most powerful man in that country he has a lot to decide with the upcoming events that have occurred and might be transpiring as I type this comment. The speaker of the house and the Israeli Ambassador advised the prime minister to speak in effort to ease the hearts of citizens across the globe. The president is a very smart man at this juncture because anybody, especially the press can twist his words around and we could have war on our hands. At this point the president has no feelings he is at a natural position right now and I feel as though he will stay there. This boycott is a representation of strength snf liberty and it show the will power some of us have but I do believe that it may strain the relation.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs.President Obama has been working with Iran to make a deal to stop its nuclear programs over great opposition from Netanyahu.House Speaker John Boehner and the Israeli Ambassador, Ron Dermer, were the ones who provided Netanyahu a prominent platform to speak before Congress.President Obama denied an Oval Office meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu which makes it seem that he does not really want to be invited. Netanyahu has expressed that the Presidents is being naïve with the situation, offending many Democrats.Obama and his cabinet aren't trying to tell the other Democrats in congress not to attend the speech, but aren't saying to go either, “We defer to Democratic member if they’d like to attend or not.” A Democratic boycott will put a damper on the United States and Israeli relationship. The relationship is currently stronger than it has been in the past so boycotting the speech could alter it for the worse.
ReplyDeleteMany democrats, along with out vice president are planning on skipping a speech presented by Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel. John Boehner, the House Speaker, and Ambassador Ron Dermer arranged for Netanyahu to speak before Congress. President Obama's reaction to the invitation was neutral. He's not encouraging democrats to attend, but he's not discouraging them either. This isn't surprising, however, because the relationship between Obama and Netanyahu isn't great, according to lawmakers and aides. The Israeli prime minister was already denied an Oval Office meeting times before. If the democrats really don't turn up, that would worsen the crack in our relations with Israel.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu Is the current Prime Minister of Isreal. John Boehner who is the Pseaker of the House, and Israeli ambassador Ron Dermer who asked Benjamin Netanyahu to speak in front of congress. Obama was not pleased with this and denied this to happen. He was not informed of the matter and I understand why he would not want to have this happen. A Democratic boycott with Isreal could cause major problems with our international affairs with Isreal. This can make the Isreali Prime Minister feel uneasy about the US and can harm us in the long run.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. According to politico.com, the speech was devised by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer to provide Netanyahu a prominent Washington platform to warn about the dangers of the proposed deal with Iran. But it also appeared to be based on an Israeli perception that Obama was weakened after midterm elections gave control of both houses of Congress to Republicans, and timed to take place just two weeks before Netanyahu faces reelection on March 17 — and footage of American officials applauding him couldn’t hurt his prospects. President Obama tried to conclude a deal to Iran to close its nuclear programs, bu Netanyahu disagreed with the President, and stated that he is naive. This brings much displeasure to many Democrats towards the speech. The President stayed neutral and leave the decision whether or not the Democrats should accept the invitation. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) considered not going and has discussed it with his colleagues. “I just don’t know if it’s the proper response or not,” he said. “But I just think it’s a mistake and it might be a proper protest. But I haven’t made that definite decision.” Democratic boycott create implications for international relations with Israel, decreasing the friendliness between the two countries. Even if he's the President, conducting international businesses wouldn't go well without support from his political party.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is an Israeli politician and is currently the Prime Minister of his country. The Speaker of the House John Boehner and Ambassador Ron Dermer asked Netanyahu to speak before Congress about the dangers the Iran faces. Obama viewed this meet as unnecessary and denied the Oval Office meeting with Netanyahu. The prime minister has tried to get his way into the American politics to get the president's opinions and information. Many critics have disputed that this has become a bipartisan relationship between the U.S and Israel. Outside of congress, the Democratic and Republican figures have both stated that Netanyahu's address should be delayed, this created a new wave of criticism.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. House speaker John Boehner and Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer both asked Netanyahu to provide a prominent Washington platform to warn about the dangers of the proposed deal with Iran. Obama is trying to be neutral about the whole thing, he doesnt want to tell the democrats to go or to stay. The implications that a Democratic boycott creates for international relationships for Isreal would be that they could not feel as comfortable with us anymore and we could lose their trust. We wouldn't have as many friendly relations. Boycotting would just make the relationship worse.
ReplyDeleteThis Democrats might skip Benjamin Netanyahu speech was about a dozen of house democrats that area unit springing up with on skipping the March third address to keep with the lawmakers and conjointly the aides. many of the democrats try to support Israel whereas at constant time staying close to what Obama agrees or disagrees with. The article states that Obama is trying to create a shock Muslim Republic of Asian nation to curb its nuclear programs over vehement opposition from Netanyahu, World Health Organization has expressed concerns that the U.S. president is being naive. Benjamin Netanyahu is not alone degree Israeli politician and conjointly the present Prime Minister of Israel. He to boot presently could be a member of the Knesseth, Chairman of the Likud party and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. The republicans told him to speak. The article states, "The speech was devised by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Israeli Ambassador Daffo Dermer to supply Netanyahu a distinguished Washington platform to warn regarding the risks of the projected shock Muslim Republic of Asian nation." President Obama denied degree government office meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu that produces it seem that he does not really want to be invited. The article says that throughout Obama's time in geographical point, the prime minister has elbowed his methodology into yank politics to corner and game the president. This time, whereas not torrential nudging from the White House on the way aspect a criticism regarding broken protocol, Netanyahu’s speech has sparked criticism across Washington and at intervals the yank individual community still as among diplomats, Israeli officers and domestic political opponents World Health Organization embrace his own former ambassador to Washington. i feel that this suggests that Obama is not really happy with this and is irritated by them. Some implications that that {will} occur for diplomacy with Israel is that many people will begin to criticize this and it will become globally notable. A man said, “Frankly, the durable U.S.-Israel relationship, two-party relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute,” Engel same. “I care regarding the U.S.-Israel relationship. it's constantly been two-party and might still be.” thus, we have a tendency to all recognize that the u. s. relationship with Israel will keep durable.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu, also known as Bibi, is an Israeli politician and the current Prime Minister of Israel. Mr. Netanyahu is also currently serving as a member of the Knesset, Chairman of the Likud party and Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs. John Boehner, the House Speaker, and Ron Dermer, the Israeli Ambassador, devised Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to address what he sees as dangers of the proposed deal with Iran. Also, this meeting is based on the perception that Obama was weakened after the Democratic defeat in the midterm elections. President Obama's is neutral to the invitation. He is not telling the Democratic representatives to go or not to go. He is leaving the decision's up to them. The implications that a Democratic boycott would create for international relations with Israel is that it may create a partisan relationship between America and Israel. It may create a stronger relationship between Republicans and Israeli officials than between American and Israeli officials. It is imperative to American officials that we keep our relationship with Israel bipartisan.

ReplyDeleteJohn Boehner and Ron Dermer asked Netanyahu to speak before Congress to warn about the dangers of Obama's proposed deal with Iran. Netanyahu's speech is to take place on March 3rd, but some Democrats may skip his speech because it has become the lowest point in the relationship between Netanyahu and Obama.
Obama thought the invitation was a bad idea because he is currently trying to close a nuclear programs deal. Netanyahu's reaction was concerned, saying that Obama is being naive. Obama even denied an Oval Office meeting with Netanyahu; even John Kerry doesn't want to meet with Netanyahu.
Implications a Democratic boycott will create for international relations with Israel are that the US-Israel relationship will weaken or cease to exist. However, there is criticism from outside. On one side, Eliot Engel states, “Frankly, the strong U.S.-Israel relationship, bipartisan relationship through the years, is stronger than any perceived slight or dispute.” On the opposite side, Dylan Williams states, “It’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy.”
Dozens of House Democrats are planning on skipping the March 3 address which will involve Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, giving a speech. The speech is mostly invested on the dangers of negotiating with Iran. John Boehner, the House Speaker, and Ron Dermer, the Israeli Ambassador, constructed Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech. Obama shows no intention of taking part in the March 3 address, and has told none of his democratic members to attend or not to attend the address. Since international relations between President Obama and Israel were never really good in the first place, a Democratic Boycott will only worsen the relationship between the two.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is an Israeli politician and the current Prime Minister of Israel. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, a democrat from California, asked Benjamin to speak before congress. Obama was not okay with this because the invitation to Benjamin was not first consulted with him; therefore, he denied the oval office meeting. This predicament can cause a skew within the relationship between the U.S. and Israel. Although Obama’s decision was no directly aimed towards the prime minister of Israel, all of the Israeli people may think otherwise.

President Obama stated that he wouldn't enforce or tell democrats to attend this, but he was neutral towards the Ambassador speaking.

Benjamin Netanyahu is the Israelis prime minister. John Boehner, speaker of the House of Representatives asked the Israelis Ambassador Ron Dermer to speak before Congress. President Obama wants to curb the nuclear program in Iran but is trying to remain as neutral as possible by not specifying whether he thinks the Democrats should attend the meeting or not. A democratic boycott is seen by some as the only reasonable answer, but others oppose the boycott saying the Israelis will misinterpret the meaning of it. "It’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy is what they feel he is doing."

ReplyDeleteDemocrats have had a hard time standing behind Barrack Obama's decision to publicly support Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu is Israel's current prime minister and a prominent politician. His speech about proposed deals with Iran sparked criticism around Washington and American Jewish communities. Obama is trying to conclude a deal about curbing nuclear programs in Iran. Apparently, Obama wasn’t informed of Netanyahu’s speech. Obama denied the Oval Office meeting with Netanyahu. Obama and his aides are not pushing anyone to go to the speech. But Obama isn’t pushing anyone to go to the speech as well. The relationship is currently stronger than it has been in the past so boycotting the speech could alter it for the worse. But some say that boycotting the speech could be a good thing because according to Dylan Williams (director of government affairs) “it’s fairly clear this isn’t about honoring the U.S.-Israel special relationship. It’s about abusing it in order to undermine the president and his foreign policy.” Which means that the United States and Israel will have a strong and good relationship.
Benjamin Netanyahu is an Israeli politician and the current Prime Minister of Israel. The House of Democrats are thinking about skipping the March 3rd address because of the relationship between Israeli prime minister and President Barack Obama. Their relationship isn’t that great according to lawmakers and aides. Mr. Nethanyahu has already been denied an Oval Office meeting with Obama. Benjamin’s speech has sparked criticism across Washington and in the American Jewish community. The president’s reaction to the invitation was that he is not telling Democrats to skip the speech, but his isn’t telling Democrats not to go either. The president is not telling them what to do, they have a choice if they want to attend or not. A Democratic boycott would be a bad thing because the relationship is strong ,and boycotting the speech could alter the relationship into a bad one.
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Netanyahu is Isreals current prime minister and a prominent politician. John Boehner and Ron Dermer are the ones that asked Netanyahu to speak before congress about the dangers that Iran poses, he also believes that Obama is naïve in his relations with Iran. President Obama has been trying to close a deal with Iran to close its nuclear programs, but Netanyahu opposes it. This democratic boycott is bringing Isreal a negative vide with them. Not all democrats are backing away from the invitation. But this may lead to no more bipartisan relationships.
