Politics Newsletter: Trump Urges Early Voting, Georgia Prosecutor Grilled, and Netanyahu's Iran Policy
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that his government, not the United States, will determine the response to any Iranian retaliation against Israel. This assertion comes amid reports of a brewing conflict between Iran and Israel over alleged Iranian military activities in Syria.
According to Netanyahu, Israel has the right to defend itself against Iranian aggression and will not tolerate any threat to its security. The United States has long been Israel's closest ally and has provided significant military and financial support. However, Netanyahu's statement suggests a possible shift in the dynamic between the two nations.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has accused CBS of selectively editing an interview she gave to "60 Minutes" following the controversy surrounding the network's interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Pelosi claims that CBS removed portions of her interview where she expressed support for President Biden's leadership, particularly on the issue of the economy. CBS has denied the allegations, stating that the interview was edited fairly and in context.
The controversy comes as tensions continue between the media and the White House, with both sides accusing the other of bias and misrepresentation.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has admitted that she has not yet spoken to President Biden since she made public comments urging him to drop out of the 2020 presidential race.
Pelosi has been criticized by some Democrats for her handling of Biden's candidacy, particularly her decision to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders in the primary. However, she has defended her actions, stating that she believed Biden was not the best candidate to defeat President Trump.
The admission of no contact between Pelosi and Biden raises questions about the state of their relationship and the potential impact on the Democratic Party's unity heading into the 2024 presidential election.
