Rahm Emanuel, former White House chief of staff under President Barack Obama and a potential Democratic presidential primary candidate, arrived in Israel on Tuesday and met with President Isaac Herzog in Jerusalem. According to reports, Emanuel is scheduled to deliver a speech at Tel Aviv University on Wednesday. The planned remarks include sharp criticism of the current Israeli government: Emanuel will say that the US-Israel alliance is at a crossroads and cannot continue as before, and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government have led Israel into a dead end. He will also argue that unconditional American support for Israel was a mistake, and that Israel has failed to translate its military achievements into strategic advantages, leaving it more diplomatically isolated than ever. The Zioneer previously reported on Emanuel's visit and his meetings in Israel.
