After announcing he will be skipping Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu”s speech to Congress for a trip abroad, US Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry both met on Saturday with Labor leader Isaac Herzog on the sidelines of a security conference in Munich, Germany.
The two sides insisted that the meetings were informal. But it reportedly revolved around security matters and the Zionist Union’s defense strategy, Israeli media reported.
On Friday, Biden announced he’ll miss Netanyahu’s speech to Congress due to a pre-scheduled overseas trip, yet unnamed. Both Kerry and President Barack Obama said last month that they would not meet with Netanyahu during his visit to DC, citing its proximity to the March 17 elections.
But that didn’t stop them from meeting with Herzog, who’s trailing Netanyahu and the Likud Party in recent polls.
In his speech at the Munich conference, Herzog said, “The time has come when Bibi (Netanyahu) must announce the cancellation of his visit to Congress. In conversations I’ve held with many European and US leaders, it is clear there is great anger over Netanyahu diverting the discussion on Iran’s nuclear program for political gain, and turning it into a confrontation with the president of the United States.”
“This speech that was born in sin, as an electioneering ‘production,’ endangers the security of Israel’s citizens and the special relationship between Israel and the US,” the opposition leader charged.
Speaking to Israel’s Channel 10 Saturday night, Herzog doubled down on the prime minister, saying that Netanyahu “won’t get to meet with a single American official on this visit — not from the National Security Agency, not from the White House, not from the State Department,
“It’s a complete boycott. Even if that’s not stated, that’s the story,” he said.
Isn’t this illegal?
We are living in Obama’s twilight zone of liberal socialist politics and the ultimate in feckless leadership.
FUBO!
and Lurch is too damned ugly to be two-faced
Since neither is part of the House of Rep...who invited them or are they just thinking they should have been invited so they just won’t go..
Bas***ds. Can I use that word on here?
I hope the Israeli’s are smart enough to see through this blatant election manipulation of Ostinko.
Seems appropriate:
"The Munich Agreement of 1938 between Hitler and major European powers expanded Germany’s borders. Today, the failed negotiation is widely considered an act of appeasement. " --politico

"... Think about it: Russia tried vainly to stop the Ukrainians from having the freest and fairest elections in their history, but they had them. Russia sought to divide Ukraine between east and west, but Ukrainians are more unified as a nation from Lviv to Kharkiv than at any time, I would argue, in the last 25 years, notwithstanding the thugs Russia has supported to foment violence in the Donbas. Russia sought to keep secret its little green men and the multiple tanks that we’ve given them -- that they’ve given them. But we have given all you incontrovertible proof that they exist. You've seen the pictures, as they say.".......... ......Corruption is a cancer. Those of you who watch Superman movies and comic books, it is like kryptonite to the functioning of democracy. It siphons away resources. It destroys trust in government. It hollows out military readiness. And it affronts the dignity of your people......----- US VP Biden http://www.enewspf.com/latest-news/latest-national/latest-national-news/58989-remarks-by-vice-president-biden-at-the-munich-security-conference.html

Because they don't want to get involved in Israel's election, after all.
Maybe Slow Joe thinks they are meeting with Whitey Herzog.
Yup, the most transparent administration when it comes to screwing our allies.
Traitors!
Another reason to impeach obozo.
Herzog the communist candidate for Labor, willing to allow the US manipulators to manipulate him. Just the sort to allow the Iranian nukes to take out Israel...for... peace.
