Only the people of Israel can decide who will represent their best interests, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday in remarks directed at President Barack Obama a week prior to the general election.
“I think everyone knows that the citizens of Israel are the only ones who can decide who will faithfully represent the vital interests of the state,” he said.
His remarks came in response to an article by prominent Bloomberg columnist Jeffrey Goldberg in which he quoted Obama as repeatedly saying that, “Israel doesn’t know what its own best interests are.”
Obama, he wrote, appeared to see Netanyahu as a “political coward” who is completely “captive to the settler lobby,” and whose ongoing “settlement” activity was moving Israel
“down a path toward near total isolation.”
