Netanyahu Tells U.S. ‘Not To Ever Second Guess Me Again’ On Hamas

Following the swift breakdown of talks of a cease-fire in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Binyomin Netanyahu told the White House not to force one with Palestinian terrorists.

Sources familiar with conversations between Netanyahu and senior U.S. officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry, say the Israeli leader advised the Obama administration “not to ever second guess me again” on the matter. The AP reports that officials also said Netanyahu said he should be “trusted” on the issue and about the unwillingness of Hamas to enter into and follow through on cease-fire talks.

This revelation comes after the Obama administration on Erev Shabbos condemned “outrageous” violations of an internationally brokered Gaza cease-fire by Palestinian terrorists and called the abduction of an Israeli soldier – who has since been decalred dead – a “barbaric” action. Read more here.
