Krauthammer rips Obama for Israel policies: ‘An arrogant amateur’
At a campaign fundraiser in New York City on Wednesday with Jewish donors, President Barack Obama made the bold claim that his administration “has done more in terms of the security of the state” of Israel.
That claim drew the ire of Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer. On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” Krauthammer said Obama had done just the opposite of his claim.
“It is not and I’m sure Obama knows it,” Krauthammer said. “If he doesn’t, he’s delusional. And this is really chutzpah.”
Krauthammer said, “This president has done more to delegitimize and undermine Israel’s position in the world than any other president and he did it by arriving on the scene and imposing and demanding of Israel a freeze on settlements, including the building of the Jewish homes in the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem of all places, something that had never been precondition in 17 years of negotiations.”
And once Obama took a position on homes in Jerusalem, he backed Israel into an untenable bargaining position, Krauthammer said.
