After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on Jewish settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisors and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman who spoke to the Prime Minister said today.
“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages”, poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House phone line. Another said that the Prime Minister had received “the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea”.
America doesn't have many true friends. We need to take care of the ones we do have. Over the weekend Mr. Obama vandalized our constitutional order. With this meeting he vandalized our reputation as a true and permanent friend. He is a remarkably petulant, immature and destructive man.
