Source: Obama May Cut Direct Ties With Netanyahu and Make Kerry Sole Liaison
The Algemeiner ^ | 3/19/15 | Chris Coffey

Posted on 03/20/2015 3:16:50 PM PDT by Nachum

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.

Translation: Obama is a coward.

The real issue is Obama’s interfering in foreign elections, just as has happened in so many countries. If it had worked, it would’ve amounted to US inspired regime change...in Israel!

I did not know men had “that time of month” but in the case of this POTUS I guess they do.

Interpretation: Obama and Kerry have not been able to ‘whipsaw’ Bibi into doing foolish things.
So they’ll quit trying.

Netanyahu should cut ties with Obama’s dipwad. Imagine trying to conduct serious business with Kerry. It’s worse than insulting. It’s nuanced banality, someone put me out of my misery time. Form diplomatic ties with Congress. Give Obama a crack spasm.

I guess the "congratulatory" phone call did not go well. O is jealous of Bibi because O cannot win an election without voter fraud and Bibi won his in spite of it.

Netanyahu is lucky. I wish Obama would cut his remaining ties with America too.

That unnamed White House source evidently misspoke.

Clearly he meant to say, "The President is pathetic".

Amen, if he has to face a real man he'll wait for a back shot.
