| Bad tidings await Netanyahu on US trip | ||||
| 2015-11-08 | ||||
| [Ynet] On the eve of the prime minister's flight to Washington, sources in the White House warn that there will not be good tidings regarding Israel's compensation package for the Iran nuclear deal in his meeting with Obama, saying that Federal budget cuts are part of the issue. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will not be getting what he wants out of his trip to Washington, according to White House sources who spoke with the New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... on Friday.
The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person... , the first meeting between the two since the signing of the Iran nuclear deal. One of Netanyahu's central goals for the trip was to strike an agreement on a new defense deal for Israel for the next decade, including compensation Israel was supposed to receive in light of the Iran deal. The White House sources noted that the issue would not come up in the meeting between Netanyahu and Obama, and furthermore claimed that any compensation would not be increased as had been suggested in earlier reports. "There is no justification for an increased compensation package, especially in light of the Federal budget cuts and the current battle in Congress over the 'wastage' of the US government," a White House source said. It was reported this week that Israel requested that the US raise its yearly security assistance sum from the current $3 billion to $5 billion. Israel's first proposal was leaked to Rooters by an Israeli source. According to the document, Israel had been pushing for the desired $5 billion yearly aid package to run for 10 years -- amounting to a total sum of $50 billion. Obama is not expected to authorize this agreement, instead granting Israel a billion dollars less.
Following the deal, Democratic members of Congress also had their invitations to a Rosh Hashanah presser at the Israeli embassy in Washington canceled -- solely for the reason that they had voted in favor of the Iran agreement. The New York Times claimed that Netanyahu had changed the compensation package proposal and that he was traveling to Washington in order to try and heal the rifts in the US-Israel relationship. However, some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go... the two sides still regard each with suspicion and mistrust.
