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 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 White House quickly resumed hostilities towards Netanyahu in the days following the election. A White House official avoided congratulating the Israeli Prime Minister the day after the win. The White House also directly criticized Netanyahu’s Election Day comments about Arab voter turnout, calling them “cynical.” Then there were several reports that the White House was reconsidering its pro-Israel stance at the United Nations because of Netanyahu’s rescinding of support for Palestinian statehood at this time. Netanyahu, seemingly in response to the mounting White House hostility, abandoned his pre-election opposition to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, seeking again to renew the US-Israel relationship.
The White House rejected this overture, and said that it was “re-evaluating” its thinking about relations with Israel. The tension continued yesterday during a telephone call between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister.
According to the AP, Obama told Netanyahu that the US was indeed reassessing its thinking about the peace process. He also raised the issue of Netanyahu’s “anti-Arab rhetoric” during the election.
Enjoys?
What normal and upright human being, like Netanyahu, would think that it was a privilege to have a direct link to the most obnoxious parasitic pariah in America, if not the world?
The only time this Satan ever been honest with Americans is when he said he will fundamentally change America.
He wants to make certain that we are no longer a Christian nation and is doing everything possible to turn us into a Muslim nation by importing whole cities of Muslims! When we finally wake up, it’ll be too late and every American, even those who are brain dead, will wonder what happened and why this newly-elected Republicrat majority just stood idly by.
Wow, more time for golf.
Stakes in the game are rising exponentially. Stand by for an exciting ride. This one will be a 5 star moment in the history books. I believe in the future of Jerusalen.
Next, Obama’s going to hold his breath until he turns blue. That’ll show ‘em!
I wish Obama would cut ties with US.
Ties with Cuba? Yes.
Ties with Israel? No.
J A C K A S S!
This is not a joking matter....obama is beyond just throwing a tantrum....this is going to get Israelis killed...
Pure Muzz.
Any doubt ?
Bibi knows a weak sister when he sees one.
Sounds like Net told him he was an ah during their last private phone call. Heh heh heh
I can’t think of a worse message for the US to send to the world and to our other ‘allies’. If we have a single one left to us, it would be a miracle.
The whole thing is SO irresponsible and idiotic! For a US President to act independently and without regard for anything else is too much for words.
It is high time Congress put Obama in the naughty chair for his tantrums.
And American Jews will still continue to support Odumbo. Sad
Actually, in the end, it will get a lot of people killed - the world over. This isn’t just about the US and Israel, this is about freedom or subjugation of the whole planet.
And why exactly? President stompy feet doesn’t like hi?
I imagine Netenyahu feels the same way.
I sincerely hope Cruz wins and then file charges against 0 for all the crimes he’s committed aginst The People...
