Netanyahu Blasts President Obama On Phone Over Iran Nuclear Deal: Israeli Lawmaker

[Purveyor]

WASHINGTON — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rebuked President Obama during a phone call Sunday about the controversial nuclear deal with Iran, an Israeli lawmaker claims.

The White House had described the phone call in bland terms, saying the two leaders “reaffirmed their shared goal of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon” and that they agreed to “stay in close contact on this issue.”

But Tzachi Hanegbi, a member of Israel’s Knesset, gave a far different account to Israeli television. Netanyahu “made it clear to the most powerful man on Earth that if he intends to stay the most powerful man on Earth, it’s important to make a change in American policy because the practical result of his current policy is liable to lead him to the same failure that the Americans absorbed in North Korea and Pakistan,” the Jerusalem Post quoted Hanegbi as saying. Hanegbi, like Netanyahu, is a member of Israel’s conservative ruling Likud Party.

Touting the deal in a speech Monday in San Francisco, Obama acknowledged that “huge challenges remain.”

“But we cannot close the door on diplomacy, and we cannot rule out peaceful solutions to the world’s problems,” he said. Without naming anyone, Obama took a swipe at those who have questioned the wisdom of engaging with Iran. “Tough talk and bluster may be the easy thing to do politically, but it’s not the right thing for our security,” he said.

1. Bibi please release a recording.

We want to hear how awesome you are.

The gift that keeps giving...

[monmouth3]

2. How long before Bibi is up for election?

[indepat]

3. Who the hell does Netanyahu think he is talking to our President in a derisive manner as if

he were a privileged effin' 'puke Congress-critter?

[sabrina 1]

8. It's not the first time. I think he has delusions regarding his super powers. He has probably done

more to harm Israel's support around the world than all the 'enemies' he is constantly threatening with nukes and other WMDs.

He thinks Americans are all as stupid as the few Right Wingers who are his enablers here.

If Bibi is angry, then we know the President made the right decision.

11. Hallelujah to that

[Politicalboi]

4. Awwww NutNYahoo is mad

[lumpy]

7. Wow!!! Talk about revisionism...

Netanyahu “made it clear to the most powerful man on Earth that if he intends to stay the most powerful man on Earth, it’s important to make a change in American policy because the practical result of his current policy is liable to lead him to the same failure that the Americans absorbed in North Korea and Pakistan,”

Umm...you mean go back to the foreign policy under Bush? Yes Iraq and Afghanistan worked out so well for everyone.

I for one think sitting down at the negotiating table should be tried at least as half as long of the previous policy before declared a failure.

13. That's an amazing statement coming from ANYONE, let alone the leader of a foreign nation. That man

is now considered to be more of a threat to world peace than Iran or anyone else. He seems to have a narcissistic personality disorder.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

9. Fuck off, right-winger. Never listen to anyone who tells you peace isn't possible. nt

[Scurrilous]

10. FU Bibi!

[geek tragedy]

12. Obama probably sat there and played Angry Birds while saying "mmm hmm" and "I understand"

every 2 minutes

[Cha]

14. I'm with this guy
