Will Netanyahu’s UN Speech Interfere With U.S. Election?
The Israeli prime minister is slated to deliver an aggressive speech aimed at the Obama administration.
The Israeli leader has been engaged in an election-year pressure campaign to convince the Obama administration to set out its own red lines for Iran, which if crossed would provoke a joint strike by the U.S. and Israel.
The escalating rhetoric has turned Netanyahu, a longtime friend and brief colleague of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney three decades ago, into a significant player in the U.S. election where Jewish voters in states such as Florida are crucial to both campaigns.
