Obama is so mean to meCommenting on harsh criticism by US President Obama, Netanyahu says that past four years have seen Israel 'face tremendous diplomatic pressure'
Ilana Curiel 01.17.13
"Only the Israeli people will determine who best represents the State of Israel's vital interests," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday.
The statement was made as a comment on harsh criticism by US President Barack Obama, who in closed doors briefings told associates that "Israel doesnt know what its own best interests are."
The American president also said that Netanyahu's policies are leading Israel down a path of near-total isolation within the international community.
snip* "They insisted that we curb our demand for action on Iran; that we withdraw back to the 1967 lines; that we divide Jerusalem that we stop building in Jerusalem.
"We fought against those pressures. I will continue to safeguard Israel's vital interests, for its security." he said.
