Netanyahu Quick To Patch Relations With Obama
You gotta play the hand you're dealt
JERUSALEM — Over the past several years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has on several occasions confronted or even undercut President Obama, taking his message directly to the Israel-friendly United States Congress, challenging Mr. Obama's appeal to the Arab world, and seeming this fall to support his opponent, Mitt Romney.
Mr. Netanyahu woke up Wednesday to find not only that his Republican friend had lost, but also that many Israelis were questioning whether he had risked their collective relationship with Washington.
"This has not been a very good morning for Netanyahu," a deputy prime minister, Eli Yishai of the religious Shas Party, told journalists in Eilat.
