If Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid does become prime minister one day, one leftist American politicians seems to be eager to become his adviser. Several months ago Lapid accused Prime Minister Netanyahu of "knowing nothing of America," yet Democratic United States senator Elizabeth Warren is chomping at the bit to show off her knowledge of affairs in Israel.

In a speech at the annual J Street conference, she interfered with Israeli politics by criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and urged the "Anyone but Bibi" camp to unite in a quest to oust "the corrupt leader."
It is no wonder that such remarks were made at J Street. The conference of the left-wing group is the only place where a senator can publicly encourage ousting Netanyahu, the leader of a democratic state.
What was Warren's justification for Netanyahu's removal? It was a necessary step for the establishment of a Palestinian state, she said.
Also, according to Warren, if the anti-Netanyahu bloc continues to fight amongst themselves it will continue to "prop up a corrupt leader who puts his own interests ahead of his country."
Lapid has recently returned from a trip to the US, where he consulted with his adviser Mark Mellman. Did these consultations somehow result in Warren's speech? We cannot know.
What is clear, though, is that if there ever is a Lapid-Bennett government, we know exactly who they will work with in the US.
