Netanyahu Meets With Barak Over 'Uncoordinated' U.S. Meetings

[Purveyor]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Saturday in order to reprimand him over the "uncoordinated" meetings he held with U.S. officials.

The meeting ended at 11 P.M. on Saturday. Before the meeting, it was reported that Netanyahu was expected to ask Barak to explain his uncoordinated meetings with officials from the Obama administration, in which he apparently said statements without the prime minister's consent.

"Full cooperation between the prime minister and the defense minister is necessary for the security of the citizens of Israel," Netanyahu will tell Barak, sources close to the prime minister's said before the meeting. Netanyahu, they added, will also request of Barak that such remarks will not reoccur during Barak's term as minister in his cabinet.

In response, a source close to Barak said that "no one reprimands the defense minister, not even the prime minister."

1. The Netanyahu era is over. He shot his wad, and missed. (Let's hope)

Unless the conflict with Washington over continuing threats of an Israeli attack on Iran, and Obama's public rebuke of them, have merely been elaborate Kibuki Theater, I can see no way that Natanyahu can survive politically during a second Obama Administration. And, then there's been Bibi's very public attempts to support the GOP and meddle with the U.S. election.

Bye, bye Bibi. Let's hope for change.

2. He missed

I just learned that Iran is suffering from hyperinflation.

Bibi's stance is dead wrong. The coalition is over and will collapse shortly, forcing Bibi to call another election which his party will be cast aside to third party status.

3. Leveymg, I Hope Your Assessment is Right - Would Love to See the Bibi Gone

You can support Israelis and disapprove of their politics as espoused by Bibi. Count me in that camp. Washington politicians may be in his camp but I feel the American people are tiring of him and his push to bomb Iran.
