Vice President Harris’s call for an ‘immediate ceasefire’, which was later clarified to mean a six-week truce

At a time of uncertainty and significant changes in the international political landscape, Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg‘s statements resonate with particular urgency. Citing a Times of Israel article, the rabbi expressed deep concern about the future of Israel in the context of American politics. Vice President Harris’s call for an ‘immediate ceasefire’, which was later clarified to mean a six-week truce, has been received with applause by some well-known sectors. However, the prospect of a change in the US presidency, specifically the possibility of Vice President Harris assuming the top job in the event something happens to President Biden, has generated concern among those of us who believe that the relationship and support of the United States towards Israel could be negatively affected.

Rabbi Rosenberg calls for support for President Donald Trump, since his administration provided a totally favorable and predictable position regarding security and support for Israel. We must not leave aside the anxiety of a part of the Jewish community and of Israel’s supporters who value clarity and firmness in international relations, especially with regard to the defense of the sovereignty and security of the State of Israel. .

The rabbi’s concern is not limited to a question of domestic American politics, but encompasses the complex network of alliances, commitments and tensions that characterize the global scenario. In this sense, Israel’s stability and its ability to navigate the security challenges in its region depend, in part, on the support and foreign policy of its allies, the United States being one of the most significant.

Rabbi Rosenberg’s intention is therefore not only a call to consider the implications of political changes in the United States for Israel, but also an invitation to reflect on the importance of consistency, predictability, and compromise in international relations. In an increasingly interconnected and volatile world, clarity in foreign policies and unconditional support for allies become cornerstones for regional peace and stability.
