Bolton: Obama Didn’t Stab Netanyahu in the Back; He Did in the Front

[excerpt HENRY Let s ░░░░░░░░ in John Bolton former ░░░░░░░░ S Ambassador to the ░░░░░░░░ Nations Good evening ambassador ░░░░░░░░ Christmas I wonder do ░░░░░░░░ believe this was President ░░░░░░░░ stabbing the prime minister ░░░░░░░░ Israel by extension in ░░░░░░░░ back BOLTON No I ░░░░░░░░ he was stabbing Israel ░░░░░░░░ the front I think ░░░░░░░░ was clearly intended to ░░░░░░░░ much more than affect ░░░░░░░░ issue of Israeli settlements ░░░░░░░░ think when you read ░░░░░░░░ text of the resolution ░░░░░░░░ it s an implicit ░░░░░░░░ of the iconic Resolution ░░░░░░░░ adopted by the Security ░░░░░░░░ after the 1967 war ░░░░░░░░ it constitutes an abandonment ░░░░░░░░ the entire concept of ░░░░░░░░ for peace because it ░░░░░░░░ an effort to establish ░░░░░░░░ s boundaries And for ░░░░░░░░ to flow from that ░░░░░░░░ could be very very ░░░░░░░░ for Israel HENRY Ambassador ░░░░░░░░ s get into those ░░░░░░░░ so our viewers can ░░░░░░░░ We hear all these ░░░░░░░░ flying around What practical ░░░░░░░░ do you think this ░░░░░░░░ will actually have that ░░░░░░░░ make Israeli Palestinian peace ░░░░░░░░ harder than it was ░░░░░░░░ few days ago BOLTON ░░░░░░░░ the issue in all ░░░░░░░░ the conflicts that have ░░░░░░░░ since Israel s independence ░░░░░░░░ 1958 has been over ░░░░░░░░ to do with the ░░░░░░░░ of Nation s Palestine ░░░░░░░░ 242 the resolution passed ░░░░░░░░ 1967 basically said Israel ░░░░░░░░ take the land that ░░░░░░░░ got then and then ░░░░░░░░ addition in the 1973 ░░░░░░░░ and give it back ░░░░░░░░ Arab countries in exchange ░░░░░░░░ peace That s what ░░░░░░░░ for peace means but ░░░░░░░░ you don t have ░░░░░░░░ land legitimately you can ░░░░░░░░ give it back So ░░░░░░░░ resolution in effect is ░░░░░░░░ forget the war forget ░░░░░░░░ the efforts to destroy ░░░░░░░░ its borders are the ░░░░░░░░ lines except where there ░░░░░░░░ mutual agreement which is ░░░░░░░░ triviality That s the ░░░░░░░░ thing United States and ░░░░░░░░ would do over an ░░░░░░░░ border dispute So really ░░░░░░░░ setting the border you ░░░░░░░░ saying anything Israel does ░░░░░░░░ that border that dissatisfies ░░░░░░░░ can be the basis ░░░░░░░░ economic sanctions against Israel ░░░░░░░░ whole boycott sanctions disinvestment ░░░░░░░░ potentially subject to war ░░░░░░░░ prosecution at the International ░░░░░░░░ Court Israel has some ░░░░░░░░ under Trump Administration that ░░░░░░░░ veto any resolution to ░░░░░░░░ this new resolution or ░░░░░░░░ implement it But there ░░░░░░░░ countless U N bodies ░░░░░░░░ can proceed on their ░░░░░░░░ and the real fear ░░░░░░░░ have right now is ░░░░░░░░ sanctions or European Union ░░░░░░░░ leveled against Israel based ░░░░░░░░ the expressed language of ░░░░░░░░ s resolution.”
