'I’m not avoiding the question, and actually I’m rushing right into it…I think it’s my job, and I think it’s important for Israel’s bipartisan support in the United States. I make a point of it,' Netanyahu said.
DeSantis has long touted a strong relationship with Israel as one of his top priorities, but Netanyahu’s close ties to Trump sets up a thorny dynamic as Trump and DeSantis gear up to clash in the presidential race.DeSantis is scheduled to speak at the Celebrating the Faces of Israel conference in Jerusalem on Thursday. In a news release, his office said he would meet with “government leaders” and “Israeli companies that have invested or are interested in investing in Florida.
In addition to an effort to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, DeSantis also sponsored a bill to prevent boycotts of U.S. allies, including Israel, and one that would amend the Iran sanctions law to allow states to impose their own sanctions beyond the federal sanctions. He also wanted to limit U.S. support for Palestinians and would have banned the purchase of “heavy water” — an important component for nuclear reactors — from Iran.
“From my seat in the House, I wanted to create a sense of inevitability about the relocation of our embassy,” DeSantis wrote. “I looked at a handful of possible locations, and the site I thought was the best ended up being the site that was selected by the Trump administration.”
