Congress to Hear Netanyahu and Hopefully Help Save the Entire World

‘For the past 2 years, Obama has enabled Iran take over Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, & Yemen.  P.M. Netanyahu is going to Washington because Obama has left him no choice.’ – Caroline Glick

By Hillel Fendel

 

American organizations continue to line up behind Binyamin Netanyahu as he nears what is likely his most controversial speech in his nearly nine years as Israel’s prime minister.

The Kansas-based Unity Coalition for Israel states that “this one man holds the safety of the entire world in his hands. Everything else is a side issue.” It is thus “fortunate that Congress has an opportunity to hear” him, writes the organization’s president Esther Levens.

“These statements not only deflect the conversation from the important issues to the peripheral ones, they also strengthen the states who oppose Israel, and aid those who support Iran,” Rumsfeld said.

In an interview with Yisrael Hayom, which will appear in the newspaper’s Friday edition, Rumsfeld recounted the “shabby treatment” he argues Netanyahu has been experiencing at the hands of President Barack Obama, who has made it clear that the Israeli Prime Minister will be an unwanted guest in Washington when he speaks to Congress about Iran’s nuclear program next week.

Netanyahu asks Obama: If Iranian Nuclear Deal Keeps Israel Safe Why Hide the Details?

Both US spokespersons Earnest & Psaki claimed the hiding of information from Israel is old policy, but the P5+1 means the US plus China, Russia, Britain, France & Germany, so Israel’s friends that protect it, inform Israel, which is how Israel knows the deal is a ‘bad deal’.

By Ari Yashar

 

After US President Barack Obama’s administration admitted on Wednesday to withholding details of the Iran nuclear deal from Israel, and accusing Israel of misrepresenting the talks, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded on Thursday saying Israel knows the details of the planned nuclear deal.

Unprecedented Loathing Between US-Israel Leaders Bring Relations to Brink of Collapse

Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia & Turkey are all experiencing historic difficulties in their relations with Washington because Obama abandoned alliances in favor of relations with an enemy by defending Iran.

By Ari Yashar

 

A media storm over a “crisis in US-Israel relations” was generated following a Tuesday report that a senior official in US President Barack Obama’s administration called Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “chickens**t” – and according to former Israeli ambassadors to America, its just the latest in an unprecedented crisis in relations.

Prof. Itamar Rabinovich, who served as ambassador between 1992 and 1996, told Walla! Wednesday relations have never been this bad before, commenting “the two sides haven’t just taken off the gloves – they threw them in the trash.” Continue Reading »

Israel PM Allows PA Prime Minister Hamdallah Pray on Temple Mount

Hamdallah, head of Palestinian unity gov’t with Hamas, was accompanied with PA’s Jerusalem ‘governor’ to pray at the site where they banned Jews from praying.

By Ari Yashar

 

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has followed the Jordanian Waqf (Islamic trust) directives banning Jews from praying on the Temple Mount – but on Monday, he and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon did let Palestinian Authority (PA) unity government President Rami Hamdallah pray at the site.

The permission given to Hamdallah was announced through the semi-official PA news site Wafa.

According to the reports, not only would the head of the PA unity government with Hamas be allowed to pray at the holiest site in Judaism, but he would be accompanied by the PA “governor” of Jerusalem Adna al-Husseini and senior officials from the PA Security Forces. Continue Reading »

Netanyahu Answers American Criticism in Foreign Press

Israel’s PM says American criticism of Jews properly buying a home ’causes uproar’ only because it’s in Jerusalem. ‘It’s “baffling to me, you know, Arabs buy apartments in Jewish neighborhoods.’

By Ari Yashar

 

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been on a whirlwind American tour, speaking before the UN General Assembly, meeting US President Barack Obama, and starting Wednesday night speaking to several international media networks. That point has raised eyebrows given the fact he hasn’t given Israeli media an interview for many long years.

 

Two issues have caused ire in the White House since Netanyahu’s arrival, namely Israel’s announced construction plan for 2,610 homes in Jerusalem on Wednesday which the US harshly condemned, and dozens of Jewish families moving into eleven apartments in the Shiloach neighborhood (known as Silwan by local Arabs) in Jerusalem.
