The White House is closely following the elections in Israel, Channel 10 News reported on Tuesday.
According to the report, the U.S. is particularly concerned over the growing strength of the Habayit Hayehudi (The Jewish Home) in the polls and over the fact that there is hardly talk about negotiations with the Palestinian Authority as part of the election campaign.
The U.S. is concerned, according to Channel 10, that Bennett's strengthening will cause Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in turn, to strengthen the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
The report comes on the heels of the harsh criticism by President Barack Obama at Netanyahu, as revealed by Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic.
According to Goldberg, Obama said repeatedly recently that Israel does not know what its own best interests are.
When informed about the Israeli decision to approve construction plans in the E1 area, "Obama, who has a famously contentious relationship with the prime minister, didn’t even bother getting angry," wrote Goldberg. "He told several people that this sort of behavior on Netanyahu’s part is what he has come to expect, and he suggested that he has become inured to what he sees as self-defeating policies of his Israeli counterpart.

So the suicide plank is not a winning campaign issue?
I’m praying my heart out for Bibi’s reelection and a strong Likud win.
That’s right Obama only worries about those damn radical Jews, never ever does he worry about those throat slitting,decapitating, amputating, stoning, peaceful Muslims! As he likes to say”Thank Allah!”
One could hope that the full name and title of “Bennett” would, in the column, somewhere, appear before referring to “Bennett”. I didn’t go on to hunt through the rest.
WTH is “Bennett”? :)
Bennett is an Israeli politician who wants to annex the land and build on it.
“Obama said repeatedly recently that Israel does not know what its own best interests are.”
SO Obama thinks of Israel exactly like he thinks of Americans. Thank God we have him to know what’s best for all of us.
Thanks Nachum. G’night all.
It is good to be king. At least for a while.
