Coons: Biden Sent Firm Message to Iran But Netanyahu Has to Change Stance Against Two-State Solution
- Sen. Chris Coons said Israeli PM Netanyahu has been "exceptionally difficult" to work with on a two-state solution.
- Coons said Biden did the right thing by going to Israel and sending a "firm message" to Iran.
- Coons said there's a "big gap" between Congress/Biden supporting two states and Netanyahu undermining a peace vision.
- Biden has maintained support for Israel's right to self-defense but said Netanyahu "has to change."
- Coons said requirements already exist in US law that military assistance recipients like Israel adhere to international law.
