World: Benjamin Netanyahu’s probably gonna fire the guy who said this

  • We’ve got a real problem. You could say that Obama is the greatest disaster for Israel – a strategic disaster.
  • An anonymous quote from a Benjamin Netanyahu confidante • Regarding the Obama administration, who Netanyahu had a fun meeting with last week. The quote, which was paraphrased in a banner headline in Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, was bashed by Netanyahu’s office in a statement: “The prime minister emphatically rejects the anonymous quotes about President Obama that a newspaper attributed to one of his confidants, and he condemns them.” Who’s getting fired? source

World: The U.S. can’t shake an Israel deal out of Benny Netanyahu

  • I think we have found the golden path between Israel’s traditional policies and our desire to move forward toward peace.
  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu • On leaving the U.S. without an agreement on that whole settlement thing that really pissed off the U.S. In perhaps the strongest sign that this statement isn’t entirely accurate, the two countries didn’t issue a joint statement about their peace talks. In other news, yet another Jerusalem settlement in a Palestinian area is getting built. Because, hey, why the heck not? source

U.S., World: Obama’s working on Middle East peace. What about health care?

  • From one major hurdle to another. On Tuesday, the president will get together with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The dynamic duo will try to restart peace talks with the charismatic president, which means that it’s going to be a disappointment if Obama leaves Israel with anything less than complete peace. source

Politics, World: Egyptian president didn’t like Netanyahu’s speech very much

  • Netanyahu’s demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as the Jewish state is ruining the chance for peace.
  • Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak • Who criticized Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech for seemingly strange reasons – because, uh, Netanyahu dared to say that Palestine should accept two states, and one of them should be Israel. Because, seriously, why would the Prime Minister of Israel suggest something crazy like that? What, is he crazy or something? • source

World: Coming soon: Israel’s response to Obama’s Cairo speech

  • Benjamin Netanyahu had a few issues with what Obama said. Saying that Obama’s speech offered a perspective that seemed not to account for thousands of years of Jewish history, the Israeli Prime Minister will speak today. His speech will cover similar ground and be broad-based in hopes of building diplomacy. But not even many in his own country are giving much weight to the speech. You need to try harder if you’re gonna impress us, Ben. source

World: Israeli PM candidates want you to vote for them today

  • I have just done what I want every citizen in Israel to do — first of all to get out of the house, rain or no rain, cold or hot, go out, go to the polling station, go into the booth, close your eyes, and vote.
  • Tzipi Livni • Israeli’s acting prime minister. Livni and her Kadima Party are behind the leading Likud Party, headed by former PM Benjamin Netanyahu, but have closed the gap in recent days. • source
