Democrat Rahm Emanuel tells Israel to no longer expect unconditional US aid

Former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel told Israel that it should no longer expect unconditional US aid. In a speech at Tel Aviv University, he criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and called for a fundamental reassessment of the US-Israeli alliance. Emanuel, who is expected to launch a 2028 presidential bid, noted that Democratic voters have become increasingly critical of Israel, especially after its genocidal war in Gaza that has killed at least 73,000 Palestinians since 2023.
