Florida Governor and 2024 US presidential candidate Ron DeSantis accused US President Joe Biden of "horrendous" treatment of Israel and stated that the US should stay out of internal Israeli affairs such as the controversy over the government's planned judicial reforms.
Addressing the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Summit today (Monday), DeSantis said that Biden should “butt out” of Israel’s internal politics and “let Israel govern itself.”
In a dig at Biden for not inviting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House until today, DeSantis said: “As president, I will welcome Prime Minister Netanyahu to come visit the White House and we will welcome being able to go to Israel."
He accused the BDS movement of being antisemitic for solely targeting the world's only Jewish State for boycotts and sanctions.
“When you concoct a movement that focuses all of your ire at the only Jewish state in this world, at the exclusion of all these other things that are going along you don't care about boycotting the CCCP, you don't care about boycotting all these rogue regimes you only care about applying disfavor treatment to the State of Israel. That is antisemitism and that is wrong," he said.
Speaking to the Daily Mail at the conference, DeSantis said that the administration's treatment of Israel is "horrendous" and accused far-left Democratic lawmakers of "scapegoating" Israel.
