Benjamin Netanyahu has been weaving in and out of US politics for decades.
When the Israeli prime minister addresses a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, it will be his fourth such appearance since 1996, more than any other foreign leader in history and the same number of addresses to Congress a US president gives during one term. Netanyahu has known President Joe Biden for decades, but Biden doubts Netanyahu’s sincerity. The Israeli leader is still trying to regain the trust of former President Donald Trump, who he offended after the 2020 election.
Netanyahu had strong ties to the Trump administration, which scuttled the Iran nuclear deal, moved the US embassy to Jerusalem and tried to broker diplomatic relations between Israel and Arab states. But Netanyahu angered Trump when, in 2020, he acknowledged Biden’s electoral win over Trump. “F**k him,” Trump told Axios, speaking about Netanyahu in December 2021. Despite his long relationship with Netanyahu, Biden has criticized the Israeli leader’s government for being too right-wing.
