President Obama reportedly said after Israel’s announcement on the E-1 area that he has become “inured” to Israel’s “self-defeating policies” and that “Israel doesn’t know what its own best interests are,” Bloomberg columnist Jeffrey Goldberg has reported.
Mr Goldberg wrote that while there was official condemnation of the Israeli policy following the Palestinian upgrade in the UN, it was what did not happen in the White House that was more interesting.
Mr Obama, he said, “didn’t even both getting angry”.
“He told several people that this sort of behaviour on Netanyahu’s part is what he has come to expect”, Mr Goldberg reported.
