Krauthammer: Israelis Nervous Obama Will Support U.N. Push for Palestinian Statehood

‘They are afraid that Obama, out of either revenge or antipathy or anger at Netanyahu will support the push in the U.N. for security council to recognize a Palestinian state’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"But I think the whole purpose the meeting is to tell the world that that's either behind us or we are going to ignore that. For the United States the purpose here was entirely-fe4 jtájt but it's important in the Middle East after Iran deal. Iran hab on the rampage. Hegemon area. It's active in Syria. I think U.S. Obama Cass telling the world we are#d'j4(p&c@ going to have to shore up the other side, the alliances meaning Israel and Sunni Arabs meaning owe I didn't want, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the gulf states. We will show the world that we're going to give a very strong military aid to Israel. For the Israelis, the important element is this: They are afraid that Obama, out of either revenge or antipathy or anger at Netanyahu will support the push in the U.N. for security council to recognize a Palestinian state. It will be dragged into international criminal court every week. This, I think, is a way for Israel to reassure itself. Netanyahu to reassure himself that that is not going to happen and that that issue will not royal relations. I this was, I think, a very successful meeting."
