Ahead of Meeting Netanyahu, Obama: US Support for ’’Israel’’ Sacrosanct
Reiterating his continuous support for the Zionist entity, US President Barack Obama described Thursday his US support for "Israel" as "sacrosanct".
During a re-election campaign fundraiser in New York, Obama stated that he wanted "Israel" to maintain its military superiority as he prepares to meet with "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Discussing the geopolitical changes created by popular uprisings in the Arab world, the US President stated the following:
"One of our long-term goals in that region is to make sure that the sacrosanct commitment that we make to "Israel's" security is not only a matter of providing them the military capabilities they need, not only providing the sort of qualitative military edge that they need in a very tough neighborhood."
Commenting on the Middle East leadership's structure changing, Obama stressed that "the US would have to take into account the politics and the attitudes of people in the region, some of which he acknowledged as anti-"Israel"."
"The sweeping changes in the Middle East make foreign policy in the region more complex," he added pointing out that "It used to be easier to deal with one person who was an autocrat when it came to knowing who you could strike a deal with."
As he discussed foreign policy, a woman yelled out, "Use your leadership! No war in Iran!"
Obama smiled and responded by saying, "Nobody's announced a war, young lady. You're jumping the gun a little bit."
