Report: Netanyahu to lead effort in thwarting Obama bid for UN chief

 
By YASSER OKBI/ MAARIV HASHAVUA / Jerusalem Post
 
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remembers well just how US President Barack Obama brushed aside Israeli objections and went ahead with the P5+1 nuclear agreement with Iran.

Now, Netanyahu is reportedly planning some personal payback.

According to the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida, Netanyahu will make common cause with moderate Arab governments in order to sabotage Obama’s plan to succeed Ban Ki-moon when the South Korean diplomat ends his term as United Nations secretary-general on December 31 of this year.

Al-Jarida quoted sources as saying that Obama has already discussed the issue of running for secretary-general with Democrats, Republicans, and Jewish officials in the US.

The sources said that once Netanyahu got wind of Obama’s plans, the prime minister began to make efforts to submarine what he has referred to as “the Obama project.”

“Wasn’t eight years of having Obama in office enough?” Netanyahu is quoted in the Kuwaiti daily as telling associates. “Eight years during which he ignored Israel? And now he wants to be in a position that is liable to cause us hardships in the international arena.”

The newspaper cited the widely acknowledged fact that personal ties between Netanyahu and Obama are frayed.

“Obama is the worst president Israel has had to deal with and the worst president for the Middle East and its allies, the moderate Arab states,” a Netanyahu aide is quoted as saying.

A source close to Netanyahu did not deny to Al-Jarida that the premier is aiming to “torpedo the Obama project,” noting that “his presidency was characterized by [Washington’s] moving closer to the Muslim Brotherhood, toppling the regime of Hosni Mubarak, and attempts to ally itself with political Islam.”

“Obama’s term is ending with him forging an alliance with Iran, coming to an agreement with it on its nuclear program which in the end will result in a similar scenario that took place with North Korea,” the aide said.

“Israel will not allow this to happen,” the source is quoted as saying. “It will take all of the necessary steps to prevent Iran from manufacturing a nuclear weapon either covertly or overtly.”

The prime minister’s associate told Al-Jarida that Netanyahu “sees an opportunity to establish good relations based on shared interests with moderate states from which Obama has moved away.”

  1. Can you imagine Hillary Clinton as US President, and Obama as UN chief? That is a scary combination.

  2. Yes. Obama, a born a muslim since his father was a muslim, and Hillary, bought ant paid for by foreign muslims. Those two, working in concert could do a great deal toward assisting the Islamic invasion of Europe and America.

    One of Mohammed's sayings, recorded in the Sahih Bukhari, that epitomizes the Islamic method is ".. I have been made victorious with terror.." Sahih Bukhari 4.52.220.

    Obama and Kerry, supported by their socialist democrat gang, are busy intentionally importing Islamic terrorists into the US as we speak. And we see Obama crying crocodile tears in his efforts to disarm the American citizenry.

    Let us hope that Netanyahu can keep him from doing the further damage to America that he undoubtedly intends to do if he can.





    And Obama and Kerry and their socialist democrat friends are intentionally importing Islamic terrorists as we speak

  3. I think the only one who can stop Obama is Netanyahu...NO one else seems to have the courage to take the usurper on.
