If you want to know how much the Biden Administration prioritizes pressuring the Netanyahu government consider this: the White House established an envoy to push Israel-Saudi normalization, but not to further Israel-Palestinian talks.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog upcoming trip to Washington is highlighting the growing rift within the Democratic party over Israel, and the fissures were on display this past weekend after Rep. Pramila Jayapal walked back comments referring to Israel as a racist country.

This disciplinary action constitutes the latest development in an antagonistic relationship between the Working Group and the highest political body of the DSA in the fallout over the organization’s relationship to Rep. Jamaal Bowman.
