Obama wants to punish Israel so he’s holding his UN threat over Bibi’s head no matter what he says

Some in the media are portraying Netanyahu as having walked back his comments on ‘no Palestinian state’ today, and whether you think he did or didn’t, it doesn’t really matter to the White House what he says now. They are going to hold him to his ‘no Palestinian state’ rhetoric on the day of the election so they can justify using the U.N. against Israel:

POLITICO – “We believe he changed his position just a few days ago,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, asked about the interview on Thursday. “So certainly,” she added, “we can’t forget about those comments.”

The United States has been protecting Israeli interests in the United Nations in service of negotiations to achieve a two-state solution, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said on Thursday.

“This is a principle that he no longer subscribes to, and that his nation no longer subscribes to. That means the United States needs to rethink our approach,” Earnest said.

What exactly Netanyahu meant or what he says now, it doesn’t matter. Obama wants to punish Israel and he’ll use this as an excuse to do it.
