Israeli PM Launches Verbal Attack on US

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu marked Sept. 11 with “an unprecedented verbal attack on the U.S. government,” according to Barak Ravid of Haaretz.
Netanyahu told reporters on Tuesday that “Those in the
international community who refuse to put red lines before Iran don’t
have a moral right to place a red light before Israel.”
Netanyahu seems to be having a hard time keeping a lid on
his temper these days. But the White House may also be losing patience
with Netanyahu. A few hours after Netanyahu’s rant, the White House
declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to meet
with Obama during a UN conference in New York in late September. A
White House official said that Obama’s schedule does not allow for a
meeting during the two and a half days Netanyahu will be in the United
States. Ravid considers
the White House’s response as marking “a new low in relations between
Netanyahu and Obama, underscored by the fact that this is the first
time Netanyahu will visit the US as prime minister without meeting the
president.”
