Fox News on Friday aired a rare criticism of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, over his decision to accept an invitation from House speaker John Boehner to address Congress.
Fox News hosts Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith criticized the move, saying it would cause backlash in Israel and damage the relationship between the United States and Israel.
“I happened to be the White House on Wednesday when Boehner announced he invited and Netanyahu accepted this, and a top White House official was flabbergasted. Said, ‘We got no advance warning. We found out about it,’ them in the White House, ‘when Boehner announced it to the press,’” Wallace said.
“To make you get a sense of really how, forgive me, wicked this whole thing is: Secretary of State John Kerry met with the Israeli Ambassador to the United States for two hours on Tuesday, and Ron Dermer, the ambassador, according to the State Department, never mentioned the fact that Netanyahu was in negotiations, and finally agreed, to come to Washington, not to see the president but to go to Capitol Hill, speak to a joint session of Congress and criticize the president’s policies,” he continued.
“I have to say, I’m shocked,” Wallace added.

What would one expect from the liberal son of a rabid liberal Mike Wallace? He isn’t talented enough to earn a spot on MSM progressive media even with being a “legacy” so he settled for being a closet liberal masquerading as a so-called conservative on Fox. As for “Shep”.....go away homo.....we all know what you think.
Obama doesn’t behave like he is President so why should anyone else?
This entire discussion is based on the concept that the executive branch is the supreme power of our government and the legislative branch is secondary and should never act independently of the executive branch.
Somehow I missed that part when I read the constitution.
And screw Fox news.
Amazing what that “minority” percentage ownership of Fox News by the house of Saud can control, isn’t it?
Eager to keep their access.
“I happened to be the White House on Wednesday...” (sic)
They really think this is a campaign issue. Should be, just as Iran’s tall shiney missile is a campaign issue for us. Our next President’s relationship to Israel is crucial to many conservatives and knowing a bit about God, it should be a priority in these days of tribulation.
Chris is a son-of-a-Mike-Wallace and Shep, well, let's just say Shep is......Shep.
Besides, The White Hut should be happy they actually learned about something happening on the world stage BEFORE it happened instead of after.
Obola usually doesn't know what's going on in the world until he hears about it on Nick at Nite News.
Or when he and Reggie click on Jimmy Kimmel after "festivities".
Even though Fox is a far cry better than MSNBC, CNN, and the old guard media CBS, ABC, NBC it is still a collection of people that see themselves as an extension of the power class and Washington Insiders so its not surprising that they participate in group think. Personally I must give kudus for Boehner making this move. It was a smart move and puts the White House in a very awkward bad place. The White house posturing about violating decorum is just laugh out loud funny from a President that breaks not just unwritten rules of decorum but real laws with this pen.
Wallace and Shep, aside from being liberals, are just unhappy about being kept out of the loop. Like when the MSM demands to know the details of military operations ahead of time.
“Obama doesnt behave like he is President...”
That explains why he stopped a meeting with Bebe donstairs at the White House to “go upstairs to have dinner” with the family. Meanwhile downstairs, he waited a short time and left.
Obama treats Muslim Brotherhood visitors better. What have we let happen to the once strong USA we used to know?
The thought of Netanyahu “damaging the relationship between the US and Israel” - after all the Obama administration has done to solidify it! /s
The illegitimate son of Marty Feldman.
Uhmmmmmmmmm, just who is damaging relations with Israel? For how long? At what cost to the world? To prop up Iran?
Feh!
I saw it and was disappointed that no one bothered to mention Nancy Pelosi running off to Syria to bash the Bush administration.
Wallace & SHEP? If it were Megyn or Greta, maybe I’d pay attention, but not to these two Lefties.
Fox is assuming the White House is being truthful.
The White House people called him a chickensh*t, and HE is the bad guy for not asking permission before agreeing to speak to Congress?
Wallace is a “tool”.
This is Real Push-Back, and I for one Love it!
All Push-Back will be immediately met with shrillness and caterwauling from rabid and closet commies.
