White House official: Netanyahu ‘spat in our face’
Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:13PM
President Barack Obama and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have had bad chemistry.
A senior US official says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “spat in our face” by accepting an invitation to address the US Congress without coordinating with President Barack Obama.
“There are things you simply don’t do. He spat in our face publicly and that’s no way to behave,” the unnamed senior US official told Haaretz newspaper.
"Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price," the official said.
US House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday invited Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress next month, an invitation the White House called a “departure from protocol.”
Hours after Obama threatened to veto any Iran sanctions legislation during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Boehner said he had invited Netanyahu to address the issue.
The White House announced Thursday that Netanyahu and Obama will not meet because of Israel’s upcoming elections.
This latest “spat” has plunged an already tense relationship between Obama and Netanyahu to a new low. The two have never made a secret of their mutual dislike.
Analysts say Netanyahu has destroyed the interpersonal channel with Obama and created an unprecedented rift in their relations.
Obama has also warned Netanyahu to stop encouraging US congressmen to pass new sanctions legislation against Iran.

Despite being burdened with the realization of being a puppet of money baggers, a "President" has to feel pretty "insulted" when he has to call on leader of a foreign country to stop encouraging law makers over which he presides.
This is a pretty swcbaggery situations all around.
