US President Barack Obama continues to look for ways to punish Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for his defiance, for daring to accept a congressional invitation to address the US Congress over White House objections.
According to Channel 2 New’s Amnon Abramowitz, US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Ruth Sherman, who is overseeing the US talks with Iran, will no longer report on the talks to Israel. In addition, US National Security Advisor Susan Rice has cut off contact with Israel’s National Security Agency and its head, Mr. Yossi Cohen.
Officials in the Prime Minister’s Office responding to the report highlighted the level of cooperation between Jerusalem and the Obama administration, adding Cohen would be meeting this week in Washington with both Rice and Sherman. /
House Speaker John Boehner announced that he extended the speaking invitation to PM Netanyahu without informing the White House because he wanted to avoid White House interference.
“I wanted to make sure there is no interference,” Boehner told Fox News’ Sunday morning program. “There is no secret here about the animosity that this White House has for Netanyahu and I didn’t want them getting in the way and quashing what I thought was a real opportunity,” he continued.

We have a “president” that is completely unworthy of holding ANY position of authority. He is a rabid Anti-Semite and cares about one thing- his prestige and legacy and will stop at nothing to achieve a “deal” with Iran. Look how well he’s done with ISIS, the “varsity team”! He has brought them to the major leagues. That being said; I don’t think Israel cares too much about where Obama’s “talks” with Iran are holding. Any sane person watching how far his “mending of relations” with the Muslim world has gotten him, knows how far his “talks” with Iran will go.
This is only the beginning. Obama will not help Israel in the next inevitable arab war which could likely be with Iran, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he sends American troops against Israel. He hates Jews and has no concern for Congress.

His true “colors” are showing.
The hacks who said that while obama is no friend of Israel he is not an enemy have been proven wrong.
I wonder if he is complicit in Iran’s threats to obliterate Israel C”V by allowing them to obtain nuclear weapons.
