Israeli PM was denounced by US presidential hopeful as a 'reactionary racist'. FMTNews Netanyahu Democrats Sanders
Netanyahu has vilified Israel’s Arab minority and vowed to annex much of the occupied West Bank.
Netanyahu, addressing the conference by satellite on the eve of Israeli elections, made a clear albeit unnamed swipe at Sanders, a leftist who would be the first Jewish US president. Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, was far more direct in attacking Sanders.“Anyone who calls our prime minister a ‘racist’ is either a liar, an ignorant fool or both.”
Calling the Palestinians “the pampered children of the international community”, Netanyahu voiced confidence that the United States would recognise the annexation – in line with a controversial Middle East peace plan presented a month ago by President Donald Trump, a staunch Netanyahu ally. Ex-military chief Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s centrist rival, did not mention Sanders in his own remarks by satellite to AIPAC but vowed to rebuild support for Israel in the United States.
