US Embassy In Israel Continues To Shun Senior Israeli Right-Wing Ministers

10

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — In a continuation of its undeclared boycott of right-wing ministers in the new Israeli government, the US Embassy in Jerusalem did not invite them to a scheduled to hold a toast in honor of the upcoming Jewish New Year. Among those invited were all of the ministers in Israel’s government, but ministers from Religious Zionism and Jewish Force were not given invitations.

Channel 13 reported Wednesday that Interim Ambassador to Israel Stephanie Hallett distributed invitations to the event to all of the Israeli ministers. Those who did not receive invitations were the ministers from the Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit parties, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The decision not to invite the ministers to the event continues the Biden administration’s snub of parties to the right of the Likud. In July, the embassy withheld invitations to its July 4th celebration from these two partie’s ministers. Noam’s Avi Maoz was also not invited to the celebration.

The two parties, which have been ignored by the US since the current government was sworn in, make up over 20% of the current Israeli government and were democratically elected by more than 500,000 Israelis.

The US Embassy responded to the report, stating: “The guest list includes only those who have close work ties with the embassy.”

The state department has always been anti Israel. The democrat party is made of anti Semites. The President is was and will always be a racist. So, no big surprise they only invite the self hating Jews. No different then svhumer, nadler, raskin, schiff and the rest of the so called jewish politicians.

They would faster invite the pali terror regimes government, just teh other day the pali terror leader who is 18+ years into his 4 year term was spewing holocaust denial, the state department has yet to say a word about it.

It’s the best opportunity for those that are not invited to do as they please and fast since there is no close working relationship (i.e. compromising to get something in exchange) so go ahead do what you’ve got to do and those that have a close relationship with them can always say to them you should have engage with them if wanted anything from them

The Biden Administration is following the wishes of the majority of the American Jewish community, ie. those yidden who actually voted for him. Nothing wrong with that
