You have to go back to the Obama era.
president
in the halls of the Capitol.
And I would say, looking back now, that was probably the first break in the dam.
And despite that, you had the Obama and Biden administrations had plenty of disagreements with Netanyahu, but they mostly kept it in-house.
They decided not to be very public about it, in part because U.S.
public opinion was overwhelmingly favorable toward Israel and to continuing unconditional U.S.
support for Israel.
But that has changed a lot.
Democrats are now facing a lot of pressure from the electorate, especially their own voting base, to stop this unconditional support for Israel.
There are quite a few Democrats who simply won't vote for a candidate who they think is enabling the status quo on Israel policy in the Middle East in a Democratic primary.
But we're absolutely seeing this emerge as one of the litmus test issues as far as the electorate is concerned.

Here's the situation.
The Senate and the House are both on recess now, not expected to return for the next two weeks.
So I would expect not until mid-April could we see a permanent long-term solution to this mess.
Republican leaders who control the House trashed that bill.
They said it was essentially forced down the throats of Republicans by Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, and Democrats, forgetting for a moment that it's Republicans who actually control the chamber, and the bill passed unanimously.
Which was a 60-day stopgap funding for all of DHS, including ICE and CBP, which they knew would not pass the Senate because this has been the fight all along for more than a month now, that Democrats would not agree to fund ICE and CBP without some reforms to the way immigration operations are conducted.
Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, made clear that it was never going to get to the 60 votes it needed to pass the Senate.
So long story short, the stalemate continues.
