Rahm Emanuel plans to tell Israeli audiences this week that U.S. support should be viewed as expressly contingent on Israeli actions in Gaza and Iran. Semafor reported the scheduled speech comes during the week of July 6, 2026.
Emanuel, described by Semafor as an Israel supporter and critic of the Netanyahu government, argued on Monday that the United States needs to reform its alliances with both Israel and NATO. The message is expected to reach a wide audience because of the speaker’s background, Semafor noted.
A poll cited in the reporting found that nearly half of Americans believe Washington is too supportive of Israel.
Semafor added that Democrats’ stance on Israel is emerging as a defining issue ahead of the midterm elections.
