Indyk on the PM’s speech

Martin Indyk, ex-Obama adviser, says: “I’ve never seen anything as sad as what we’re watching now.”

That dozens of Democrats are boycotting this speech shows that Israel has become a partisan issue, he says, and the relationship between Obama and Netanyahu “is toxic.”

Arguments over settlements and Iran at the fore, coming “to a peak here in a way that raises real concerns in my mind about how things are going to work out if the prime minister is reelected in two weeks’ time,” Indkyk says.

There’s such a breakdown of trust that it’s not clear how things will work out “if there’s a crisis.”
