According to former Israeli Ambassador to Washington, Netanyahu cannot improve relations with the USA if he remains in power

"It is true that Netanyahu is a toxic political figure. If he remains in office, our chances of improving our relations with the USA are almost zero," Oren said in an interview with local radio 103 FM. he said.

Oren, who served as Israel's Ambassador to Washington between 2009 and 2013, stated that it is "a question mark" whether Yashar Party leader Gadi Eisenkot's assumption of the post of prime minister will be enough to stop the "anti-Israel tendency" in the United States.

"If there is no radical change in our policies, how much time do we really have left? After all, Eisenkot will not withdraw a single soldier from Gaza, Lebanon or Syria and will not work for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Democrats will see the same Israel, only with a new face," Oren said. he said.

The former ambassador also predicted that US President Donald Trump may take a completely different attitude in the last two years of his term.

Oren stated that US President Trump is likely to turn his attention to foreign policy after encountering obstacles in legal regulations in domestic policy.

Stating that Trump is unlikely to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine, Oren evaluated that the possibility of the US side pressuring Israel to initiate the withdrawal process from Gaza is extremely high.

Stating that Israel can realize important elements that it can use to improve its position and image, Oren noted that these opportunities can be evaluated.

Among the elements in question, Oren listed the steps of "completely ending violence against Palestinians, stopping illegal construction activities (especially in the E1 region)" and pointed out the importance of "committed to peace and striving for peace with all neighbors".

Stating that the Democratic Party in the USA should not be seen as "a monolithic block", former ambassador Oren said, "Today, there is a Democratic majority that is not extremist. We must ensure that they help us to prevent them from drifting to the extreme left; that is, we must offer them a basis on which they can rely in their support for Israel."

Oren also said, "People like Democratic Senator Abdul el-Sayed, elected from the state of Michigan, hate us not because of what we do, but because of our direct existence. Even if we divide Jerusalem in two tomorrow, they will still continue to hate us." made claims.
