New rift opens between Obama, Netanyahu after election victory

After staying mum on Israeli issues in the run-up to the election, the White House on Wednesday broke its silence -- answering Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's victory with fresh criticism and making clear that a new rift has opened between U.S. and Israeli leaders, this time over Palestinian statehood.

In its first public response to Netanyahu's election triumph, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said President Obama still believes in a two-state solution. This was after Netanyahu, shortly before the vote, reversed his stance and stated he would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state.

Earnest acknowledged Wednesday that the U.S. would have to "re-evaluate" its position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in light of those comments. But he stressed that Obama believes a two-state solution is best. And State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki clarified that the administration "absolutely" will continue to push for this.

Further, Earnest chided Netanyahu's Likud Party on Wednesday, saying the White House was "deeply concerned" about divisive language emanating from Likud. He said the party had sought to marginalize Israel's minority Arabs, an apparent reference to social media posts the Likud distributed that warned Israelis about the danger of high turnout by Arab voters.

"These are views the administration intends to convey directly to the Israelis," Earnest said.

The comments suggest there is likely to be no thaw in the chilly relationship between Netanyahu's administration and the White House.

Counting the days until this anti-American, anti-Western jackass goes away. We must have done some pretty bad things to have deserved him and 5he Wookie.

Meanwhile, there will be no “peace” agreement because the Paleoswinians can and will only sign if Israel agrees to relocate to Wrangell Island or a mass grave.

There is nothing funny or amusing about Obama and his regime of thugs.

I believe your looking at it ass backward.

It is funny because enough Americans VOTED for him so as to put him in power. The CURSE you speak of is a CHOICE that the majority of VOTERS CHOSE to endure. They championed his election.

"What you see is what you get" is NOT what they GOT. That's funny to me because, even though you and I have to endure the Obumbler's BS actions and decisions, it warms the cockles of my heart when someone who VOTED for Obozo is served up their first warm bowl of $hit to consume and starts howling with concern.

Just enjoy the show and DON'T fret. Obama has and will continue to do his damage but I believe America will survive the Obama $hit cycle.

Well, now that you mentioned it, yeah. The crying of his worshipers[ voters] is music to my ears.

Mr. Obama, what is your position on a "Two-State" solution for the US?
