Netanyahu’s Shadow War For The GOP Begins? [View all]
Israel Hayom, the pro-Netanyahu free tabloid published by Jewish-American gambling billionaire Sheldon Adelson, published a story today on recent criticism dealt by Israels National Security Council of US President Barak Obamas policy towards Egypts Muslim Brotherhood.
U.S. President Barack Obama is naive and needs to face up to the threat presented by the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood across the Middle East, Israels National Security Council concluded during a strategic discussion several days ago.
The council, responsible for providing the prime minister and cabinet ministers with strategic assessments, said it was concerned about the Muslim Brotherhoods rise in Egypt, especially in light of the groups world view and pronouncements from its officials, repeated as recently as this week, that call the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty into question.
As the article states, the NSC is not an independent think-tank but a strategic assessment body, operating under the Prime Ministers Office. The head of the NSC is retired IDF general Yaakov Amidror, who was a regular contributor for Israel Hayom until his appointment.
According to numerous reports in the Israeli media, Binyamin Netanyahu sees another Obama term as clear political threat to himself, to the point where he is mulling on calling early election in Israel, so that a possible Democratic victory in November doesnt affect his standing in the polls.
