Israeli Envoy:U.S. Ties in ‘Crisis of Historic Proportions’

FOXNews

 It doesn’t look like Biden is helping the relationship much…

U.S.-Israeli relations have hit a 35-year low over a contentious east Jerusalem building project that threatens to derail peacemaking efforts with the Palestinians,Israel’s envoy to Washington was quoted as saying Monday.

Ambassador Michael Oren’s remarks clashed with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assurances that the political turmoil resulting from the settlement announcement,which the Obama administration slammed as "an insult,"was under control.

"Israel’s ties with the United States are in their worst crisis since 1975 …a crisis of historic proportions,"the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted Oren as saying to Israeli diplomats in a phone briefing over the weekend.

Israeli officials said that the U.S. is pressing the Jewish nation to scrap the east Jerusalem building project.

Competing Israeli and Palestinian claims to east Jerusalem were feeding tensions in the holy city,where Arabs and Jews maintain an uneasy coexistence and sometimes clash. Police were out in large numbers in the volatile Old City in expectation of renewed clashes.

  • President of the WORLD needs to be IMPEACHED a.s.a.p. The world doesn't need this Hitler in power in America. He needs to be removed swiftly.

  • What do you expect from a Muslim? Not once has this man supported the USA in anything! We've alieniated the French,English and now Israel. Obama is regarded as a Muslim in all the Arab countries because his father was a Muslim! He's hasn't been to a Christian church since moving to Washington,it;s been a year plus!
    It took years of practice to perfect his speaking ability! Someone sponsored him-why no published history on this man? The stupid idiots we have in congress do not realize the consequences of what they have voted for and what they are now voting for. The laughable paradox is that the "blacks"are still 99% for him,and those of the Jewish persuasion are still liberal enough to support him! We are a bankrupt nation in more ways than one!

    I fully agree with the previous comments. We as a nation are on extremely
    dangerous ground if Israel continues to receive this pounding from the
    U.S. Obama does not believe in the right of Israel to have her land and
    he is doing everything possible to promote the Arab forces,who want to
    see Israel driven into the sea –wiped off the face of the earth. There is
    a God in heaven Who knows what is happening,and He has said that
    He will curse those who curse Israel. Read your Bible.

    The Obama moron is a closet muslim who declares America is not a Christian country. This scumbag is anti-Christian,anti-Semitic(pal of Farakant and Wright tells it all). The only difference between the moron Biden and the dysfunctional moron Obama is that Biden at least is a patriot and loves America(in contrast to Obama and his bargain demeani9ng America constantly while continuing to enjoy tehir world publicity tours at taxpayere xpense). I only wish the Chancellor Merkel could tesach Obama how to be presidential. Merkel,Sarkozy,Putin,and BNrit,PM Brown have no use for him but ouir Arab enemies and Chavez and Castro whom he admires are deklighted with his efforts to undermine American democracy. The opposition needs victory in November so this loser can be impeached and discarded.
