Post for March 24th: Double Whammy

Re: Israel Absorbs Twin Rebukes from Allies

While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel is received with less than warmth at the White House by Mr. Obama, his nation is also very coldly regarded by the United Kingdom. While the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador may have been a bit extreme and damaged some of the trust build up between Britain and Israel. It was a necessary wake up call for the Israeli government. Their double-faced and inconstant manner is only making solving the conflict more precarious and is creating doubts as to whether their heart is actually in the peace talks. This approach is also exasperating Israel’s allies and the global forum at large. With the assassination of the Hamas leader, allegedly by the Mossad operatives, Europe has taken a much cooler view of Israel and the conflict ensuing there in.
