An Israeli minister has warned that relations between Tel Aviv and Washington have reached a crisis point amid growing tensions between the two sides.
On Saturday, Israel’s Finance Minister Yair Lapid said “there is a crisis with the United States,” noting that Washington-Tel Aviv ties “must be managed respectfully and responsibly.”
The warning comes after reports that the US administration rejected a request by Israeli Minister for Military Affairs Moshe Ya’alon to meet with several top-ranking officials, including Vice President Joe Biden, National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Secretary of State John Kerry, during his five-day visit to Washington this week.
The White House has been upset over Ya’alon’s negative comments regarding Kerry’s efforts to forge a peace deal between Israeli and Palestinian officials as well as the ongoing nuclear negotiations with Iran.
Earlier in the year, Ya’alon called Kerry’s efforts for a so-called Israeli-Palestinian peace “messianic and obsessive.”
In response, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the remarks were “offensive and inappropriate especially given all that the US is doing to support Israel’s security needs.” Ya’alon later had to apologize for his statements.
In June, the Tel Aviv regime protested the US decision to continue to work with the new Palestinian unity government and provide funding for it.
Observers say Washington’s plan to work with the new unity government shows Obama’s more openness to the Palestinians and the fact that his administration is more critical of Israel.

Everyone thought the zionists had a chane of heart, by allowing a blackman to represent their clique, they couldve used that moment to undo all the wrongs committed globally, especially to ethnic people of color.Instead being the greedy, mass murdering, colonial, racist, parasites they are and always will be used Obama as a face mask to hide behind, to continue their global holocaust against the world.Im glad these spineless, gutless murderers did this, which has exposed their master plans.Shame on Obama either he was in on the act or he was dumb to beleive a Leopard never changes its spots

Respect and a sense of responsibility should come voluntarily, not on expectation, demand or purchase. It will take the Zionists three thousand years to learn that.4

This wouldn't have anything to do with the global stock market continuing to crash as investors opt out of the Zionist controlled banking system, preferring to trade in the Yuan or Ruble the west is oficially bankrupt Germany wants its gold or reperations.Which is a clear indication when they audit the fed next months will discover no gold was ever there.Will they blame Mr Putin of course.Will we know why all world trade receipts of gold got destroyed in WTC Building 7 If Israel had any ounce of decency left, come clean on 9/11 Saudi involment to steal back gold through fake wars, did sadam or gadafi have gold ??5

Gaddafi's gold and silver of wealth left in a hurry runs into 3-digit billions USD, this is being looted on a piecemeal basis, much of it flowing to terrorist operations in Libya and elsewhere.2

Is the ONLY major American institution which is not under AIPAC control, the reason being to advance to the top you need to put your life at risk as a trainee foot-soldier and then have a long loyal service, the rossdennis/sumnerredstones leave that to the dumb goyim . But the satanic devils are too cunning for the WASPS, they will find a way to start a cyber war and force the dumb kellys of the physical army into the mess, their target appears to be Putin who is a stumbling block 6.

I believe this to be true, Satanyahoo keeps ripping up the memos or avoid discussions with kerry.Putin has just made it clear in case Satan didnt get it the last time ITS GAME OVER get that Satan take your little bomb drawings and save the artwork for your long prison or death sentence.A redline was crossed from the latest mass killins in Palestine, Ukraine and now Africa with Ebol.There will never be a Zionists world order EVER your right wing nutcases like mcain, poroshenko, zbigneiw, Kissinger, bush, clinton, blair, merkel, scamoron who are all fighting each other now will never win.Its our world not yours, we will run the world how we want to.We are all unique and have a given right to live in peace and harmony, not happy with that then go to one of yr private islands and nuke yourselves WE HAVE WON NO MORE ZIONISM.8
