The electoral victory of Prime Minister of Israel on Tuesday night and shot-starboard really is not well seen by the White House.
At issue in particular, statements by the Likud leader who caused trouble by promising to before the vote that a Palestinian state would not see the day while he was prime minister.
In an interview yesterday at the American channel MSNBC, Benyamin Netanhayu backtracked by saying that he had not abandoned its commitment to the creation of a Palestinian state, but felt that the political circumstances are are not favorable. He also played the appeasement recalling that he "saw no alternative to cooperation with the United States."
A development that did not stop the White House to consider the implications of this statement.
"The president told the prime minister that we would have to reconsider our options at the United Nations as a result of its new positions and statements concerning the two-state solution," said spokesman Josh Earnest of the presidency.
For several months, the relationship between Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama have continued to cool. Their last meeting was in October, and during his last visit to Washington, Netanyahu had to Congress without going through the White House.
