"Benjamin Netanyahu is destroying our relationship with our most important ally," MK Yaakov Peri, until recently Science, Culture and Sport Minister, said in an interview with Ynet on Tuesday, commenting on tensions between Prime Minister Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama over the prime minister's planned speech to the US Congress, two weeks before the Israeli elections.
On Monday, Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid presented his faction's electoral list, with Peri in the fifth slot. Weighing in on the dispute with Obama, Peri said: "We are in the midst of an ongoing crisis with the US, which didn't start just with the speech. Disagreements are normal and arguments are fine, but instead of making efforts to calm the situation – they are aggravated."
"Now all everyone talks about is how crudely Israel intruded into the American internal political system, and how Israel acted wrongly in not informing the White House, the president, John Kerry and the State Department. We are on a serious collision course with the US, and the government will eventually take action.
Peri continued: "I am convinced that the prime minister is damaging Israel's security. I say it day and night…He is hurting Israel's security and the safety of soldiers, as the Americans draw a link between their relationship with Netanyahu and the State of Israel and Abbas' moves at the International Criminal Court.
And yet some knob heads want to defend King Bibi, GOP-loving right-winger that he is, pressing their faces deep into their own corrupt fantasies.
