In this case, its all about:

Israel’s ambassador to the US, Ron Dermer received Saturday the full backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amid chatter in Washington that replacing Dermer may be necessary to restore the working relationship with the Obama administration.
In a statement by the Prime Minister’s Office, Netanyahu reiterated what he had said at the AIPAC conference earlier this month that he “couldn’t be prouder to have Ron Dermer representing Israel in Washington.”
“That is as true today as it was then,” the statement read. “The prime minister has full confidence in Ambassador Dermer, whose service to the people and State of Israel continue to reflect his extraordinary dedication, professionalism, and passion.”
The statement came after White House press secretary Josh Earnest hinted that replacing Dermer could be a gesture towards repairing the relationship. “Obviously, Prime Minister Netanyahu will decide who is the person who is best positioned to represent his country in the United States,” Earnest said during a daily briefing.
Dermer is expected to be on NBC’s Meet the Press program Sunday morning to respond to President Obama recent comments that the U.S. will “reassess” its relationship with the Jewish State.
Obama is making up several issues ... which are really “non-issues” ... and are for only making “political hay”! Obama wants to get rid of Ambassador Dermer, because of the arrangements made through him (with the Speaker of the House) to have Netanyahu give a speech to a Joint Session of Congress. That really fired up the political opposition to the Iran agreement that Obama is trying to push through, and therefore Obama is looking for some “payback” ... namely “get rid of Dermer”!
And in regards to the other issue, and Obama accusing Netanyahu of being against a TWO-STATE SOLUTION ... that’s just an outright lie from Obama.
Obama is making this out to be REAL BIG ISSUE and is throwing a Temper Tantrum over it, even though he knows it’s TOTALLY FALSE and it’s a LIE that he’s telling the American public. Obama is hoping the FOOLS in America will believe him and not Netanyahu, when Netanyahu says he STILL supports a Two-State Solution, per Bar-Ilan.
The reason why Obama is making this out to be a big issue, is that he wants to “use it” to abandon Israel in the United Nations (by refusing to block UN Security Council Resolutions against Israel) and in the future by implementing sanctions against Israel.
As Obama knows very well, and as Netanyahu has made clear repeatedly after the election ... Netanyahu has not abandoned his Bar-Ilan policy speech regarding his support for the Two-State Solution.
Obama is trying to take a misunderstood campaign blurb and turn into a major policy reversal. It’s no such thing and Obama knows it!
This is what I said regarding what the Liberal press and Obama are doing ...

This a FALSE statement from the press and from Obama. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has REPEATEDLY sought to correct the mistaken impression that he does not support a TWO-STATE SOLUTION.
He does support it and he says that he has maintained that same support ... going back to his Bar-Ilan speech, when Obama first got into office. He says his position in support of the Two-State Solution has not changed since then.
What it is ... is that the liberal press and Obama want to hammer on Netanyahu no matter what ... and they’ve picked up on a LIE that Netanyahu does not support the Two-State Solution.
Here’s Netanyahu’s support for a Two-State Solution from what he has been referring to in the last several days to COUNTER THIS LIE!

And it doesn't seem to be buying him anything but derision.
If Lurch were replaced by a potted plant it would be a step up for us in negotiations with the Mulla-fockers.
Obama mistook Netanyahu for Boehner
That says it all.
Obama is the most dense POTUS we have ever had. He got shellacked in November elections; now after dissing the country of Israel, and after laying an egg during their elections, he implies that he has some say in the Israeli ambassador to the US?
In this case, its all about:
Bill Clinton appointed a homosexual to be Ambassador to Luxembourg, a country that is about 95% Catholic.
Democrats like to force their leftist ideas upon others.
My word man..you think Obama is dense...?
Far from it...he's hardly dense..
He's extremely arrogant, narcissistic to the point of self delusion, those are his good points...
but dense...no...
Any Israeli ambassador to the US is primarily to American Jews and to other American citizens. The relationship with any president is an afterthought.

Well, even though on our political side we want to see that done, there is a “rhyme and reason” why the Presidents haven’t done this.
The USA has been in the position of being a mediator (of sorts) in the negotiations that are supposed to go on between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and one of the theoretical issues in the negotiations is going to be the status of Jerusalem, even though Israel has ruled it out. The USA has to go through the motions of not being “on a side” if they are, at the same time, going to be a mediator. To place the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem would be to prejudice the negotiations on one particular point.
Here’s what I would predict for this. When the final status negotiations are completed, then you’ll see the USA placing their embassy in Jerusalem.
So did Republican presidential candidates know this and lied about it when running? Or were they so out of touch that they really didn’t know this?
Oh, that’s right! In your face seems to be the name of the game with these folks. (Earlier, I was referring to Obama’s appointing Stevens as ambassador to Libya...)
Maybe Boner can get a little courage fruit when in Israel and come back with a Bibi-like spine.
That is easy to explain. In 2012, during the DNC convention, Bammy got the delegates to vote for the non-recognition of Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel.
So yeah, in his own mind Jerusalem is not the capitol of Israel because he poofed it out of existence.
Typical of his ilk - he creates his own reality whether or not it is really real.
Bibi should have told Obama to go pound something else.
Reminds me of Bush I insulting Iraq by appointing April Glaspie Ambassador. Then she proceeded to mistakenly give Saddam an OK to invade Kuwait. Political correctness and the US State Department are going to be the death of us.
The best way to get back on our Emperor’s good side is just allow Iran to have its way in the middle east and dont interrupt his golf time.
