Emanuel’s Israel Speech Signals Democratic Pivot on US Policy
In a preview of his Tel Aviv University speech, Emanuel argues U.S. support for Israel should be conditional on Palestinian sovereignty, rejects a 'Greater Israel' approach, and pushes a renewed peace process; he even flags sanctions on settlement-related actors and suggests a '23-state solution' to mobilize Arab partners, signaling a centrist pivot within the Democratic Party and reflecting Emanuel’s own 2028 presidential bid.
