Chomsky: Israel's confrontation with America is revealed for the first time


An outstanding American philosopher and linguist noted that what is happening now in relations between the Zionist regime and the United States shows the confrontation between Tel Aviv and Washington.

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Noam Chomsky called the developments in relations between the Zionist regime and the United States quite remarkable, referring to recent statements by Zionist officials, and said: "Israel is openly distancing itself from Washington."

This American philosopher added: "This is the first time that the confrontation is revealed so clearly, and it is not clear how America will respond."

Noting that “three years ago, legislation was first introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives asking the U.S. to reconsider aid to Israel in line with U.S. law,” Chomsky acknowledged, “I think this is largely based on fundamental changes in public opinion. , and that could lead to big changes in the future.”

US President Joe Biden's recent statements calling for a rejection of a controversial judicial reform proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have provoked strong angry reactions from members of his cabinet, most notably Homeland Security Secretary Itamar bin Gvir, who called Biden's statements an example of "intervention in internal affairs of Israel.Tensions between the White House and Israeli authorities have prompted opposition leader Yair Lapid to warn of the consequences.
