Netanyahu comments on Obama phone call
Prime Minister Netanyahu wouldn't get into specifics with the media about his phone call with President Obama in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in a conversation with The Jerusalem Post, characterized his post-midnight telephone call Wednesday with US President Barack Obama as a "good conversation."Bottom line: The Prime Minister of the United States' most important ally in the Middle East (and one of its most important allies in the world) asked to meet with the President of the United States regarding the number one security issue on the international agenda. The President of the United States doesn't have time to meet him because he is too busy partying with the Muslim Brotherhood President of Egypt and cracking jokes with David Letterman.
"We spoke about our common goal of stopping Iran from developing its nuclear weapons program, and our desire to closely coordinate our efforts," he said.
When asked whether Obama referred to his comments that those who do not place red lines in front of the Iranians cannot place a red light in front of Israel, Netanyahu replied that he was "not going to get into details of this discussion."
"Obviously I have my views and am not exactly shy about expressing them when I think that Israel's vital security concerns are involved," he said. "This is my responsibility as the prime minister of the Jewish state. We are facing the greatest security challenge of any country on the face of the earth, and when I feel I need to speak out, I do."
And he still claims that 'relations with Israel have never been closer' and that he's 'got Israel's back.'
Draw your own conclusions.
