Mr. Yishai is coming to Washington
Go and figure.... The White House has invited Interior Minister Eli Yishai to visit. Interior Minister Eli Yishai received an official invitation to Washington late Wednesday, in a move meant to foster closer relations between the Obama administration and Israeli officials responsible for exacerbating tensions between the two countries over the issue of Jewish construction in Jerusalem.Wait until he tells them he doesn't make a move without asking his rabbi. Heh.
The invitation was given to Yishai by Dan Shapiro, a Middle East expert at the US National Security Council.
In March, Yishai had stood behind the announcement of new construction in Ramat Shlomo, in the northeastern part of the capital, during US Vice President Joe Biden's recent visit to the region.

I hope he declines the invitation. But the joke in Israel is Shas' can be bought for the right price. One wonders what the Obami have found out about Yishai.
Its scary.
They will try to bribe him, for sure.
Obama sees Netanyahu as being a slave to his right wing coalition, so what they're essentially doing is trying to go over Netanyahu's head.
