Benjamin Netanyahu has been leading relations with Democrats in the U.S. to decline.

The dispute with the Democrats is due to the difference in point of view regarding the strategy followed in the Middle East. Netanyahu opposes the Democrats' vision of keeping the two-state solution as a framework for the American approach to conflict management. This dispute between the longest-serving prime minister in Israel and the Democratic administrations has put the Jewish Democrats on the verge of choosing between the interests of the United States and Israel.
