Senior member of Trump team said to tell Israelis: Western Wall is not your territory

link: http://www.timesofisrael.com/senior-member-of-trump-team-said-to-tell-israelis-western-wall-is-not-your-territory/

In a bitter diplomatic incident, a senior member of the US delegation making preparations for Donald Trump’s visit to Israel next week angrily rejected a request that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accompany the president when he visits the Western Wall, and then sniped at his Israeli counterparts that the Western Wall is “not your territory. It’s part of the West Bank,” Israeli television reported on Monday night.

An official at the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed the Channel 2 report, telling the Times of Israel that Israeli officials were “shocked” by the comments and have asked the Trump administration about the incident.

The official said that Netanyahu is certain that the comment does not reflect President Trump’s policy.

They're playing to their Nazi base and are going after the very existence of Zionism!!!!

Add the revelation of Israeli intelligence to the Russians on top of this and it is a complete betrayal of Israel!!!!

To Bibi Netanyahu, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!

jogging up to the top would have the desired effect. They can tell him there is a five star golf course at the top, and he would probably go for it.
