Jim Clyburn Says He And Biden Both Think Netanyahu's Leadership Is 'Not Good' For Israel
HuffPost
The influential South Carolina Democrat later clarified that Biden had "accepted" his assessment of Benjamin Netanyahu but had not explicitly agreed or disagreed with it.
Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) suggested that both he and President Joe Biden feel that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership is not good for Israel.
“I’ve talked to the president about this. And, of course, he is not going to be public with everything he says to Netanyahu,” Clyburn told CBS’ Robert Costa on “Face the Nation” Sunday. “But I know this. He feels about the way I feel when it comes to Netanyahu. He is — his leadership has not been good for Israel.”
“We stand firmly with the people of Israel, but I’ve always had a real problem with Netanyahu and that continues to be today,” he said.
When Costa asked the congressman to clarify if Biden agreed with his assessment of Netanyahu, Clyburn said, “Well, he’s accepted my assessment. I have not asked him whether or not he agreed with me.”
“In fact, I just let them know, ‘This is the way I feel. I’m not running the country. You do what you feel is in the best interest of the country,’” he added.
