Sen. Coons: Netanyahu a Difficult Partner for Peace, But U.S. Reluctant to Attach Conditions to Israel Aid
- Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been a "difficult partner" for peace according to Sen. Coons
- There is a gap between the U.S. goal of a two-state solution and Netanyahu's actions against that
- The U.S. provides billions in military aid to Israel annually and could attach conditions, but hasn't yet
- Sen. Coons says he will likely support the administration's border security and Ukraine aid package
- Coons acknowledges he is a Biden campaign surrogate, so is supportive of the president's stances overall
