Inner cabinet meets after Israel reportedly pressured to respond to Washington demands.

While Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu convened his six senior ministers on Wednesday night to discuss the crisis with Washington, US President Barack Obama on Wednesday said the US-Israeli relationship is not in crisis over the approval of an east Jerusalem building plan during US vice President Joe Biden's visit to Israel,.

Obama told Fox News Channel that the new housing units "weren't helpful" in carving out a peace between Israelis and Palestinians, but that Washington remains a committed ally for Israel.

The expansion of Ramat Shlomo was a poor choice for Israel, Obama said, but added that, "Friends are going to disagree sometimes."

I wonder if the hyper liberal jews in new york will finally turn on Obama. More likely though they’d welcome Israels destruction.

Sounds like Bammy just stabbed SoS Hillary in the back. Sent her off to shriek at Bibi, then smiles and says no problem.

So... if the disjecta membra impacts the rotating fixed-wing, Hillary screwed up in carrying out her brief by doing what she does best: threatening, escalating, and trashing everything she touches.

Almost deserves some popcorn!

When they say that “ there is no problem “ then, there is a problem that exists, and it's not Israel..
