The Biden Admin is making it clear that the “special relationship” the U.S. has with Israel won’t be changing, just because Netanyahu’s government is enacting new legislation that gives itself more power.

Yes, that’s despite Joe Biden repeatedly voicing his opposition to that very legislation. But shockingly, the Israeli prime minister didn’t listen—because he knew that if he was already getting away with vowing to continue and even expand the decades-long illegal occupation of Palestinian land, depriving those occupied civilians of basic resources, and allowing the IDF to use live rounds targeting civilians, medics and journalists—then there’s a good chance the U.S. isn’t going to do anything other than complain when Netanyahu limits the power of Israel’s Supreme Court. And he was right.
