Op-ed: Congress speech was PM Netanyahu’s way of telling US president that he is giving up on him as ever being a trustworthy friend of Israel and appealing directly to the American people; Israelis should show their support for this stand.

Analysis: 'The notion that we don't meet with Israeli prime ministers this close to elections is just wrong. We meet with Israeli prime ministers whom we like,' says American Middle East analyst Aaron David Miller, while opinion piece in The Economist claims Netanyahu 'has been a bad deal for Israel. It is better off without him'.
