The United States has guaranteed its “ironclad” support to Israel “regardless” of who occupies the government, as stated this Thursday by the spokesman for the US State Department, Ned Price, in reference to the possible change of government in the country.
“We are not going to talk about the formation of the government (of Israel) while it is in process, but regardless of what happens, regardless of the government that is in place, our unconditional support, our unwavering support for Israel will remain,” he stressed. the spokesperson.
Price has reiterated the commitment expressed by US President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken “in recent days” on issues such as the “replacement of the Iron Dome.”
Thus, it has influenced that “none of that will change, even if there is a change of government.”
The leader of the centrist Yesh Atid, Yair Lapid, managed to form a government in Israel on Wednesday shortly before the midnight cut-off time, thus ending the era of Benjamin Netanyahu, in office for the last twelve years.
The coalition will eventually be made up of a motley amalgam of parties, including Blue and White, the Labor Party, Yisrael Beiteinu, Meretz, and New Hope, as well as Yesh Atid, Yamina, and the Joint Arab List.
The coalition was announced after the leader of the Joint Arab List, Mansur Abbas, gave his support late on Wednesday, making the formation the first Arab-Israeli party to sign an agreement to form part of a government in Israel.
Netanyahu is thus facing ending his 12-year term as prime minister, an issue he is desperately trying to torpedo the deal by calling on the right to oppose this “dangerous left-wing government.”
