In a CNN interview on Sunday, Obama was asked if Netanyahu has “injected himself forcefully” into Washington affairs, and he replied “right.” When asked whether this was appropriate, Obama said, “I’ll let you ask Prime Minister Netanyahu that question if he gives you an interview,” and that “I don’t recall a similar example” of a foreign leader meddling in U.S. affairs.
Israeli Foreign Ministry Director General Dore Gold told Army Radio that Israel is “looking at what the implications of the [nuclear] deal are,” and that Netanyahu has “a duty to warn the U.S. public and the world of the implications of the deal.”
Gold noted that the deal means “$150 billion added to the Iranian coffers and from there transferred to the terror organizations surrounding Israel, like Hamas and Hezbollah and groups in Syria.”
“Everyone is talking with everyone and we are part of that debate. That is just the way it is. The idea that Israel can give its opinion in public appearances and television programs and even on Capitol Hill is a very legitimate thing,” he added.
Additionally, a senior Israeli official categorically denied Obama’s assertion to CNN by stating that Israel “is not meddling in internal American affairs,” the Times of Israel reported.

Does this man have to knocked off his high horse?!
Does he not remember how he had his people meddle into Israeli elections just to ascertain that BiBi does not win! Who does this Chicago street kid think he is!?
What chutzpah Obama has to say that Netanyahu is meddling in American affairs!! This is the man who twisted the arms of Netanyahu to agree to a 10 month building freeze at the beginning of his first term to try to appease the Palestinians.(Mind you it accomplished the opposite). Israelis could not add on to their tiny apartments because of Mr. Obama. That’s called meddling in another country’s affairs
Obama claims that no foreign leader has ever injected himself so forcibly into an American political issue. Well, maybe that’s because, no US president has ever negotiated such a stupid deal which creates an real existential threat to Israel.
Of course Netanyahu has injected himself into American affairs, and not for the first time!
