Netanyahu

Good grief, get over it.

The administration of US President Barack Obama joined Arab Knesset members on Monday in questioning an apology offered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the Arab sector in Israel for his warning against the Arab vote.

It was the second time over the past week that the Obama administration and the Arab Joint List issued strikingly similar statements criticizing him, in a likely sign of what is to come as long as the prime minister and Obama are in office. Arab MKs and Obama himself questioned the sincerity of Netanyahu’s clarifications on the Palestinian issue.

Netanyahu tried to make amends with the Arab sector on Monday by hosting leaders from Israeli Arab and other minority communities from across the country at his official residence in Jerusalem.

He used the occasion to apologize for his Election Day warning to right-wing voters that Israeli Arabs were going to vote en masse in buses funded by foreign, nongovernmental organizations and donors.

US officials continued questioning the leadership and judgment of the newly reelected premier on Monday, after Obama said over the weekend that he planned a reassessment of the relationship.

“When he says one thing one day and another thing another it’s impossible to tell if he’s sincere,” State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters. “We can’t read his mind.”
