OBAMA, KERRY AND ISRAEL

Secretary of State John Kerry's friends are saying his work on a Middle East peace was undermined by President Obama.  Obama got personal with Netanyahu in a personal telephone call according to the report.  Kerry was blind-sided.

"The timing could not have been any more deliberate — an assault on the prime minister’s policies delivered precisely as Netanyahu was flying in to meet with him, and on the first day, too, of the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC’s annual tour de force conference across town,” Horovitz wrote. “At the very least, that might be considered bad manners, poor diplomatic protocol, a resounding preemptive slap in the face: I’ve just told the world you’re leading your country to wrack and ruin, Mr. Prime Minister. Now, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?”
