The Israeli prime minister is visiting Washington this week
Supporters of both Israel and Palestine gathered outside outside of CUNY Grad Center on Monday in New York City, in relation to the university's investments in Israel . The protest comes only days ahead of Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress.
Nonetheless, the disjointed reception could deal a blow to Netanyahu, who has wanted to leverage his political contacts in the US to bolster his credentials as a statesman at home, and also to maintain his relationship with Democrats in case they defeat Donald Trump in November. “It isn’t necessarily as much a matter of policy as, I think it is of framing ... there is a frame for people in the generation of Kamala Harris and younger that is much more recognising of the Palestinian side of the equation, and much more recognising of the need for both people’s fears and needs and rights to be part of this conversation.”
“And just a few days ago, we saw hungry, desperate people approach aid trucks, simply trying to secure food for their families after weeks of nearly no aid reaching northern Gaza. And they were met gunfire and chaos.” Abdullah Hammond, the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, an Arab-majority city, pointedly did not endorse Harris. “To nominate a candidate who can usher historic policy domestically AND abandon the genocidal course charted in Gaza and beyond,” he wrote. “United States needs a candidate who can inspire voters to come out to the ballot box this November.”
