Washington’s Reaction to Election Results

Lesson Brief NRG
On March 19th, NRG reported on the effect of Netanyahu's statements regarding a Palestinian state during Israel's elections. His statement that he was opposed to creating a Palestinian state has brought American government officials to proclaim a possible change in America's position that historically has been to veto every unilateral decision before the UN regarding Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Now, America may not do so, and pointed out that Israel is now a government which no longer supports direct negotiations. Some commentators have stated that within Israel, it was expected that Netanyahu would say something rash when he was under pressure of the elections, but that it doesn't change policy in Israel. This set deals with reactions to statements made by political figures and therefore includes words such as: מתרגלים לעובדה - "becoming accustomed to", שיתוף פעולה - "collaboration", לתמוך, תומך - "to support".
