Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman stated that senior Democratic officials told him that if Israel refuses to accept a Palestinian state, a Democratic administration could lead the United States to abandon Israel, according to a report.
Former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said on Friday that senior Democratic Party officials warned him that a Democratic administration could abandon Israel if it refuses to accept a Palestinian state. The statement, reported by a channel associated with Friedman, adds to his recent warnings on the issue. In congressional testimony last week, Friedman argued that Palestinian statehood would destroy the Abraham Accords and undermine normalization talks. The comment also comes amid broader debate within the Democratic Party over its stance toward Israel, with Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) warning about rising anti-Israel sentiment, as The Zioneer has reported. The claim is based on a single source and has not been independently corroborated.
