The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has stated that US officials can criticize Israeli annexation plans without going too far. The commission released guidelines for limited criticism in Zoom meetings and phone calls to US lawmakers. The parameters are pretty obvious: you can say annexation is bad, but you can’t actually suggest conditioning military aid or holding Israel accountable in any way. AIPAC statement released on May 11 admitted that “there is bound to be areas of political discord between leaders on both sides – as is the case between America and all of our allies.” While the annexation plan is one of these areas, the statement itself cautioned against any proposals to reduce relations with Israel if the annexation took place, and made clear that “doing anything to weaken this vital relationship would be a mistake”.
