This president bought it. He has responsibility as a commander-in-chief. And I think he made a big mistake for it,” Emanuel said. He also criticised US military aid to Israel, arguing that “there should be no more taxpayer support for what they want to do” and that they should get “the same deal” that other US allies do.
