President Obama is considering cutting all ties with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s YNet News reported on Friday. According to a source cited by the paper, the White House “is contemplating lowering its ties with Israel and putting Kerry as the sole liaison between the two states, as opposed to the open line Netanyahu now enjoys with Obama.”
“The president is pragmatic, if he were to think there was some gain to be made from talking directly with Netanyahu he would do so, but he just prefers not to waste his time,” the White House source said
The report culminates weeks of mounting anger by the White House towards Netanyahu. Administration officials were very critical of Netanyahu’s historic speech earlier this month before a joint session of Congress on the Iranian nuclear threat, and there was even speculation that the White House was attempting to unseat the Israeli Prime Minister.
Following Netanyahu’s landslide electoral victory this week, it appeared as though the tension with the White House might dissipate. The White House took a conciliatory tone on the day of the win, and a Netanyahu loyalist made it clear that the new government would seek to renew trust with the United States.
The peace was short-lived.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
A good executive delegates. /S
We’ve had a hostile takeover of our government. It’s only discussed on “right-wingnut” sites like FR, and hinted at on FOX. On the MSM, all is well. Say, has anyone seen American Idol lately? /S
Would it be impolite to observe that a Muslim hates Jews?
Because BO was caught big time messing with the elections which I thought was a huge no no. He’s too immature to be a statesman and can’t face the man that he tried to destroy. I think he is scared.
Obama is a traitor. Where are our reps?! Play hardball with this thug!
What's next? Writing bad fan fiction of Das Kapital staring Arack Bobama and Karl Marx?
The thought continues to occur to me that the campaign team Obama sent to Israel is lucky he doesn’t have the power he thinks he so richly deserves or they’d have received the treatment Saddam Hussein used towards Iraq’s losing soccer team.
He is such a child. Pathetic.
Maybe Obama’s true goal (I mean his backers) was for him to destroy Israel and give Nukes to Iran. Destroying America was a happy by product for him.
A petulant man-child...
Obama continues to do all he can to insure that he remains the biggest POS on the planet.
Of course, it's all about priorities. The less time O actually works at his job the more time he has for golfing.
The Celebrity in Chief from the Pennsylvania is an idiot.
Obama’s 15 minutes is almost up ,Netanyahu can just wait it out
Obama may cut direct ties?
Didn’t he, in reality, do that long ago? Like when he told BiBi to think about things because he was going to have dinner with his family. As I recall...that happened early on.
It appears that Bibi was right and our spearchucker in chief, as usual, was full of crap.
The Celebrity in Chief from the Pennsylvania Avenue is an idiot.
It features a map of the new caliphate from Morocco to Afghanistan. All of the countries are there, except Israel.
