Russia expanding major Syrian airport — monitoring group-Claim of work at site in Latakia province comes as Russia insists it is helping fight against IS, not bolstering regime-By AP September 13, 2015, 8:30 pm 2-the times of israel
BEIRUT — Russian forces are working to expand the tarmac of a major airport in Syria’s coastal province of Latakia, a stronghold of President Bashar Assad and his minority Alawite sect, a prominent Syrian monitoring group said Sunday.The report comes amid rising concern among US officials of increased Russian military activity in Syria. President Barack Obama cast the buildup as an effort to prop up the embattled leader, warning Moscow against doubling down on Assad.Russia, a longtime backer of Syria’s government, denies it’s trying to bolster Assad and instead says its increased military activity is part of the international effort to defeat the Islamic State group, the militant group that has wreaked havoc in both Syria and Iraq.The Associated Press reported earlier this week, quoting a former Lebanese general with knowledge of the Syrian military, that there were plans to build a military base in the coastal town of Jableh, more than 20 kilometers south of Latakia city. It is where the airport currently under development is located.The airport, known by its old name Hemeimeem, already houses a military base, and has come under shelling from militants who have advanced in the countryside of the province.It is the second most important government controlled airport in Syria after Damascus airport. The Hemeimeem airport was renamed the Basel al-Assad International airport, after the brother of the current president, who died in a car accident in 1994. According to the Syrian Civil Aviation Authority website, the airport’s tarmac is currently 2,800 meters (3,000 yards) long and 45 meters (49 yards) wide. It only has one terminal, according to the site.The head of the Britain- based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdurrahman, said witnesses, including officials inside the airport, describe the tarmac development as planned to ensure larger planes can land in the airport.“ It could mean there will be more supplies or that they want to turn it into an international airport,” Abdurrahman said.The witnesses told the Observatory no Syrian military or civilian officials are allowed near the tarmac. The Observatory relies on a network of activists and witnesses on the ground to report on the Syrian civil war, now in its fifth year. More than 250,000 people were killed in the violence, and nearly half of Syria’s pre-war population of 23 million has been displaced from their homes. About 4 million of them are refugees in neighboring countries.Abdurrahman said there are other plans to develop another rural airport east of Latakia city.The Alawite sect, from which Assad and his family descend, makes up about 13 percent of Syria’s pre-war population. It has historically been centered in towns and villages of Syria’s mountainous coast that make up the provinces of Latakia and Tartous. If the regime falls, that heartland could become a refuge for the community — and even for Assad himself — from which to fight for survival against a Sunni rebel insurgency and majority population that has long resented their domination.Abdurrahman said Russian planes arrived in recent weeks carrying military equipment and hundreds of Russian military advisers. He said the experts are also believed to be studying the expansion of the Damascus international airport.

Israeli seriously wounded in Jerusalem rock-throwing attack-Car carrying 3 individuals returning from Rosh Hashanah dinner comes under attack by Palestinian assailants hurling stones-By Times of Israel staff September 14, 2015, 1:54 am 6
A Israeli man was seriously wounded and two others sustained light injuries when a car they were riding in came under attack by rock-throwers in Jerusalem late Sunday night.Unknown assailants believed to be Palestinian residents of east Jerusalem attacked the car with stones, causing the driver to lose control, run into a ditch and crash into a pole.The incident occurred in the Arnona neighborhood in southeast Jerusalem.The three individuals were returning from a family dinner celebrating the Jewish New Year which began Sunday evening.The injured man, in is 50s, was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem for treatment.Police were searching for the perpetrators.
Abbas decries Israel’s ‘attack’ on al-Aqsa mosque-Arab League fumes after police raid finds pipe bombs, thwarts premeditated riot on Temple Mt; Israel says it will not tolerate violent abuse of holy site-By Times of Israel staff September 14, 2015, 1:17 am 6
The Palestinian Authority, Jordan and the Arab League slammed the Israeli government for an operation during which police officers found pipe bombs on the Temple Mount in the Old City in Jerusalem on Sunday.The Shin Bet security service alerted police to the cache, apparently an effort by Palestinians to stock up on bombs, flares and rocks ahead of an organized riot.After the raid, which quickly turned violent, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of carrying out an “attack” on the mosque and said sites such as al-Aqsa constituted a “red line,” adding that the Palestinians “will not allow attacks against our holy places”.“The presidency strongly condemns the attack by the occupier’s military and police against the al-Aqsa Mosque and the aggression against the faithful who were there,” said a statement from Abbas’ office.Meanwhile, a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office said Israel sought to maintain the status quo on the Temple Mount but would not tolerate rioting on the compound.“Israel will use any means to maintain the status quo and the rule of law on the Temple Mount. It is the country’s duty and right to act against rioters in order to enable freedom of religious practice in this holy place. We shall therefore act determinedly against those who throw rocks, Molotov cocktails and pipe bombs or those who use any other means” read the statement.The man in charge of activity at the site, Sheikh Omar al Kiswani, condemned the police raid and said “Israel took over our holy site.” Speaking to Palestinian news agency Ma’an, Ksiwani said Israel “enforced its sovereignty by violence” and added that using force on the site may constitute a violation of existing agreements between Israel and the Waqf, the religious authority running the mosque. Kiswani said two employees at the mosque were wounded by rubber bullets and dozens more were wounded by police officers beating them with batons and using other measures.Jordan also rapped Israel for the incident, and urged it to stop “provocations” on the Temple Mount.The Arab League issued a statement signed by foreign ministers of member states, warning against the “Judaization of al-Aqsa [mosque] by Israel.” They warned Israel not to allow Jews to pray “inside the mosque” and not to allow “extremist settlers break in and hurt the sanctity of the site.”Neither scenario was realized on Sunday or during any of the past violent eruptions in recent memory on the volatile site, venerated by both Muslims and Jews.The Arab League statement also threatened that member states will turn to the International Criminal Court at The Hague and that Israel “will bear responsibility” for its actions.United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Nickolay Mladenov, issued a statement in which he expressed “concern” over the violence and urged “all to do their part in ensuring that visitors and worshippers demonstrate restraint and respect for the sanctity of the area.”Mladenov “take[s] note of the statement by the Prime Minister of Israel that the status quo at the Holy Sites will be maintained,” his statement said.
Al-Qaeda leader calls for lone wolf attacks against West-In newly released recording, Ayman al-Zawahiri urges Islamist groups in Iraq and Syria to unite, but rejects IS caliphate-By Times of Israel staff and AFP September 13, 2015, 8:56 pm
The head of Al-Qaeda said in a new message posted online Sunday that young Muslims should carry out lone wolf attacks against targets in Western countries, and the United States in particular, and urged Islamist groups to work together.“I call on all Muslims who can harm the countries of the crusader coalition not to hesitate. We must now focus on moving the war to the heart of the homes and cities of the crusader West and specifically America,” Ayman al-Zawahiri said in the audio recording.Zawahiri, who is in hiding, also urged greater unity among militants.“I call on all mujahedeen (Islamist fighters) in districts of Iraq and Syria to collaborate and help each other,” said Zawahiri.He repeated his position that the Islamic State group’s claim to be a caliphate was illegitimate, but said al-Qaeda would join IS in fighting Western and secular forces in Iraq and Syria. He said the decision on the caliphate had been taken “in secret and without consultation.”He singled out five areas of cooperation: ending inter-jihadist clashes, a halt to campaigns calling for rivals to be eliminated, the creation of an independent religious tribunal to resolve differences, a general amnesty and collaboration in treating the wounded, sheltering refugees and stocking food supplies.Such cooperation had become even more urgent, he said, as “the enemy has intensified its crusade against Islam.”Al-Qaeda’s Syria affiliate, Al-Nusra Front, allied with other Islamist rebel groups, has been locked in deadly clashes with IS for control of territory in the north and around Damascus.Zawahiri urged Muslim men in the West to follow the example of the Tsarnaev and Kouachi brothers. Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were behind the bombing at the Boston marathon in April 2013, while Sharif and Said Kouachi carried out the terror attack at the offices of French magazine Charlie Hebdo in January.It was not clear when Zawahiri made the recording, but according to Reuters, a reference to Taliban leader Mullah Mohamed Omar as still being alive dates it as at least two months old. The Afghani government announced that Omar was dead in late July.The former physician, who is of Egyptian nationality, called on fighting factions in Syria and Iraq to unite against the Western-led coalition bombing Islamic State targets. Zawahiri conceded it would be difficult to find common ground between the groups, and called for the formation of an independent sharia court to settle disputes.
Muslim states seek UN action on flood of Syrian refugees-Organization of Islamic Cooperation wants ‘multi-dimensional UN operation’ in war-torn country, more effort to end conflict-By AFP September 13, 2015, 10:55 pm 4-the times of israel
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — The United Nations should consider a peacekeeping force for war-ravaged Syria to help curb the surge of refugees which is destabilizing the region and beyond, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation said Sunday.An emergency meeting of the 57-member group called on the UN Security Council to urgently consider creating “a multi-dimensional UN peacekeeping operation in Syria as a prelude to restoring security and stability in the country.”It also called for more to be done to find a rapid political solution to the Syrian conflict.The OIC, which calls itself the collective voice of the Muslim world, blamed the humanitarian crisis on “the war crimes committed by the regime in Syria.”Refugees get out of a special train coming from Munich upon arrival at the railway station in Berlin Schoenefeld on September 13, 2015. More than four million Syrians have fled their country where President Bashar Assad is battling various rebels, including the Islamic State group, which has carried out widespread atrocities.The migration from Syria has created a crisis in Europe, where Germany alone is expected to receive 800,000 asylum-seekers from Syria and elsewhere this year.“The meeting stressed the common responsibility of all nations, particularly OIC member states, to open their doors to the Syrian refugees as a mark of Islamic compassion and solidarity,” a closing statement from the meeting said.The OIC noted that more than half of its member states are not signatories to the UN Convention on Refugees, and urged them to sign.No Gulf state has acceded to the convention which sets standards for the treatment and rights of those fleeing to a new country.Gulf Arab states have been among the most ardent opponents of Assad, providing funds and weapons for rebel groups fighting him.At the same time, Saudi Arabia and its neighbors last year joined a US-led military coalition bombing IS extremists in Syria.The OIC further “urged all countries to refrain from extending military support to the Assad regime.”That call comes as Washington accuses Moscow of a military build-up in Syria, where Russia has backed Assad against the uprising of more than four years. Moscow said Sunday that it would continue to support the Assad regime in its fight against the Islamic State group.The OIC said Syria’s neighbors who have taken refugees have borne “a huge portion” of the humanitarian burden and the international community should give them more support. Lebanon, with a native population of 4.4 million, has taken in 1.1 million refugees, while Turkey is playing host to close to 2 million people who fled Syria.

After Iran deal, Obama may not be able to regain Israel’s trust-In Israeli eyes, says expert, president ‘doesn’t get the Middle East, and therefore doesn’t understand what dangers Israel has to face’-By Josef Federman September 14, 2015, 1:26 am 27-the times of israel
AP — Seeking to sell his nuclear deal with Iran to a skeptical Israeli public, US President Barack Obama has repeatedly declared his deep affection for the Jewish state. But the feelings do not appear to be mutual.Wide swaths of the Israeli public, particularly supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have little trust in the American leader, considering him naive and even hostile. One recent poll showed less than a tenth considered him “pro-Israel.”Such misgivings bode poorly for Obama as he tries to repair ties with Israel in the final year of his presidency, and they would certainly complicate any renewed effort at brokering peace between Israel and its neighbors — once a major Obama ambition.The tense personal relationship between Netanyahu and Obama are certainly a factor in the poor state of affairs, and Netanyahu has made a number of missteps that have contributed to the tensions.On a trip to the White House in 2011, the Israeli leader appeared to lecture Obama on the pitfalls of Mideast peacemaking. Netanyahu has close ties to the billionaire Republican donor Sheldon Adelson, and during the 2012 presidential race, Netanyahu appeared to favor Obama’s challenger, Mitt Romney.Netanyahu’s US-born ambassador to Washington, Ron Dermer, is a former Republican activist, and earlier this year, Netanyahu angered the White House by delivering a speech to Congress against the emerging Iran deal at the invitation of Republican leaders. Netanyahu has continued to lobby American lawmakers to oppose the Iran deal since it was finalized in July.But Obama also bears responsibility for a number of policy decisions that have jolted Israelis’ faith in him.“The average Israeli probably thinks that he is a nice guy, but he is naive,” said Alexander Yakobson, a historian at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In Israeli eyes, “he doesn’t get the Middle East, doesn’t understand how the Mideast functions, and he doesn’t therefore understand what dangers Israel has to face,” he added. Yakobson said the president’s missteps went back to his earliest days in office, when he chose to deliver a landmark speech in Cairo seeking to repair American relations with the Arab world. “That was never going to make him popular in Israel,” he said.Yakobson, who himself agrees with Obama’s opposition to Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank, said the president had nonetheless mishandled disagreements with Netanyahu over the issue and peace efforts with the Palestinians that collapsed last year. Many Israelis, he said, believe the Palestinians also deserve some of the blame.But the biggest issue has been the US-led nuclear agreement with Iran. Politicians across the spectrum have come out against deal, agreeing with Netanyahu’s assessment that it does not have sufficient safeguards to prevent Iran from gaining the ability to make a bomb and that it will boost Iran’s influence across the region. Iran is a key backer of Israel’s toughest enemies, and Netanyahu has warned that the ending of sanctions against Iran will result in more money and arms flowing to groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.Recent opinion polls reflect these sentiments. In one survey published Sunday in the Maariv daily, 77 percent of respondents said the deal endangers Israel, compared to 15 percent who said it didn’t. The poll interviewed 500 people and had a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.An April survey of Jewish Israelis, carried out just after a preliminary nuclear deal with Iran was reached, had an equally harsh view of Obama. Just 9 percent of respondents described the White House as “pro-Israeli,” while 60 percent called it “pro- Palestinian.” More than 60 percent described Obama as the worst president for Israel in the past 30 years, far outdistancing runner-up Jimmy Carter at 16 percent.That survey, conducted by the Panels Politics agency with the Jewish Journal, questioned 503 Jewish Israelis and had a margin of error of 4.6 percentage points.In a survey of 40 countries, the Pew Research Center found the sharpest decline in Obama’s image over the past year occurred in Israel, where confidence slipped from 71 percent to 49 percent.At times, the anger toward Obama in Israel is palpable. On the streets and in online news forums, Israelis often refer to Obama by his middle name “Hussein,” a reference to his Muslim heritage on his father’s side. Last year, after an anonymous White House official used a pejorative term to describe Netanyahu as cowardly, Cabinet Minister Naftali Bennett warned that Obama was “throwing Israel under the bus.”For his part, Obama has acknowledged feeling hurt. In an address to American Jewish leaders last month, Obama underscored his deep commitment to Israel’s security and likened the debate over the Iran deal to a dispute within the family.“I would suggest that, in terms of the tone of this debate, everybody keep in mind that we’re all pro-Israel,” he said. “And we have to make sure that we don’t impugn people’s motives.”Obama has said that with the Iran deal complete, he would like to begin working with Israel on ways to increase its security and allay fears about the deal. The Haaretz daily on Sunday said talks on providing Israel with additional US weaponry have already quietly begun. Netanyahu’s office declined comment.But even if the two countries do manage to reach a new security deal, it seems unlikely that Obama will be able to repair the relationship with Netanyahu or restart Mideast peace efforts. The differences just run too deep.The White House has said it is trying to set up a meeting between Obama and Netanyahu for November, which would be their first meeting since the Iran deal was finalized.Yoram Ettinger, a former Israeli consul-general in Houston, said the issues here have little to do with personalities or alleged hostilities on the part of Obama. “It’s an issue of a gap between two very different world views,” he said.He said that in Israeli eyes, Obama is unrealistic, sending a message of weakness through his handling of the so-called Arab Spring over the past five years and by trusting an Iranian government with such a long record of defying the international community and supporting violent groups across the region.“Are you rooted in reality or are you rooted in wishful thinking,” he said.

Russia expanding major Syrian airport — monitoring group-Claim of work at site in Latakia province comes as Russia insists it is helping fight against IS, not bolstering regime-By AP September 13, 2015, 8:30 pm 2-the times of israel
BEIRUT — Russian forces are working to expand the tarmac of a major airport in Syria’s coastal province of Latakia, a stronghold of President Bashar Assad and his minority Alawite sect, a prominent Syrian monitoring group said Sunday.The report comes amid rising concern among US officials of increased Russian military activity in Syria. President Barack Obama cast the buildup as an effort to prop up the embattled leader, warning Moscow against doubling down on Assad.Russia, a longtime backer of Syria’s government, denies it’s trying to bolster Assad and instead says its increased military activity is part of the international effort to defeat the Islamic State group, the militant group that has wreaked havoc in both Syria and Iraq.The Associated Press reported earlier this week, quoting a former Lebanese general with knowledge of the Syrian military, that there were plans to build a military base in the coastal town of Jableh, more than 20 kilometers south of Latakia city. It is where the airport currently under development is located.The airport, known by its old name Hemeimeem, already houses a military base, and has come under shelling from militants who have advanced in the countryside of the province.It is the second most important government controlled airport in Syria after Damascus airport. The Hemeimeem airport was renamed the Basel al-Assad International airport, after the brother of the current president, who died in a car accident in 1994.

Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were behind the bombing at the Boston marathon in April 2013, while Sharif and Said Kouachi carried out the terror attack at the offices of French magazine Charlie Hebdo in January.It was not clear when Zawahiri made the recording, but according to Reuters, a reference to Taliban leader Mullah Mohamed Omar as still being alive dates it as at least two months old. The Afghani government announced that Omar was dead in late July.The former physician, who is of Egyptian nationality, called on fighting factions in Syria and Iraq to unite against the Western-led coalition bombing Islamic State targets. Zawahiri conceded it would be difficult to find common ground between the groups, and called for the formation of an independent sharia court to settle disputes.
Muslim states seek UN action on flood of Syrian refugees-Organization of Islamic Cooperation wants ‘multi-dimensional UN operation’ in war-torn country, more effort to end conflict-By AFP September 13, 2015, 10:55 pm 4-the times of israel
JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — The United Nations should consider a peacekeeping force for war-ravaged Syria to help curb the surge of refugees which is destabilizing the region and beyond, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation said Sunday.An emergency meeting of the 57-member group called on the UN Security Council to urgently consider creating “a multi-dimensional UN peacekeeping operation in Syria as a prelude to restoring security and stability in the country.”It also called for more to be done to find a rapid political solution to the Syrian conflict.The OIC, which calls itself the collective voice of the Muslim world, blamed the humanitarian crisis on “the war crimes committed by the regime in Syria.”Refugees get out of a special train coming from Munich upon arrival at the railway station in Berlin Schoenefeld on September 13, 2015. More than four million Syrians have fled their country where President Bashar Assad is battling various rebels, including the Islamic State group, which has carried out widespread atrocities.The migration from Syria has created a crisis in Europe, where Germany alone is expected to receive 800,000 asylum-seekers from Syria and elsewhere this year.“The meeting stressed the common responsibility of all nations, particularly OIC member states, to open their doors to the Syrian refugees as a mark of Islamic compassion and solidarity,” a closing statement from the meeting said.The OIC noted that more than half of its member states are not signatories to the UN Convention on Refugees, and urged them to sign.No Gulf state has acceded to the convention which sets standards for the treatment and rights of those fleeing to a new country.Gulf Arab states have been among the most ardent opponents of Assad, providing funds and weapons for rebel groups fighting him.At the same time, Saudi Arabia and its neighbors last year joined a US-led military coalition bombing IS extremists in Syria.The OIC further “urged all countries to refrain from extending military support to the Assad regime.”That call comes as Washington accuses Moscow of a military build-up in Syria, where Russia has backed Assad against the uprising of more than four years. Moscow said Sunday that it would continue to support the Assad regime in its fight against the Islamic State group.The OIC said Syria’s neighbors who have taken refugees have borne “a huge portion” of the humanitarian burden and the international community should give them more support. Lebanon, with a native population of 4.4 million, has taken in 1.1 million refugees, while Turkey is playing host to close to 2 million people who fled Syria.

After Iran deal, Obama may not be able to regain Israel’s trust-In Israeli eyes, says expert, president ‘doesn’t get the Middle East, and therefore doesn’t understand what dangers Israel has to face’-By Josef Federman September 14, 2015, 1:26 am 27-the times of israel
AP — Seeking to sell his nuclear deal with Iran to a skeptical Israeli public, US President Barack Obama has repeatedly declared his deep affection for the Jewish state. But the feelings do not appear to be mutual.Wide swaths of the Israeli public, particularly supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have little trust in the American leader, considering him naive and even hostile. One recent poll showed less than a tenth considered him “pro-Israel.”Such misgivings bode poorly for Obama as he tries to repair ties with Israel in the final year of his presidency, and they would certainly complicate any renewed effort at brokering peace between Israel and its neighbors — once a major Obama ambition.The tense personal relationship between Netanyahu and Obama are certainly a factor in the poor state of affairs, and Netanyahu has made a number of missteps that have contributed to the tensions.On a trip to the White House in 2011, the Israeli leader appeared to lecture Obama on the pitfalls of Mideast peacemaking. Netanyahu has close ties to the billionaire Republican donor Sheldon Adelson, and during the 2012 presidential race, Netanyahu appeared to favor Obama’s challenger, Mitt Romney.Netanyahu’s US-born ambassador to Washington, Ron Dermer, is a former Republican activist, and earlier this year, Netanyahu angered the White House by delivering a speech to Congress against the emerging Iran deal at the invitation of Republican leaders. Netanyahu has continued to lobby American lawmakers to oppose the Iran deal since it was finalized in July.But Obama also bears responsibility for a number of policy decisions that have jolted Israelis’ faith in him.“The average Israeli probably thinks that he is a nice guy, but he is naive,” said Alexander Yakobson, a historian at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In Israeli eyes, “he doesn’t get the Middle East, doesn’t understand how the Mideast functions, and he doesn’t therefore understand what dangers Israel has to face,” he added. Yakobson said the president’s missteps went back to his earliest days in office, when he chose to deliver a landmark speech in Cairo seeking to repair American relations with the Arab world. “That was never going to make him popular in Israel,” he said.Yakobson, who himself agrees with Obama’s opposition to Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank, said the president had nonetheless mishandled disagreements with Netanyahu over the issue and peace efforts with the Palestinians that collapsed last year. Many Israelis, he said, believe the Palestinians also deserve some of the blame.But the biggest issue has been the US-led nuclear agreement with Iran. Politicians across the spectrum have come out against deal, agreeing with Netanyahu’s assessment that it does not have sufficient safeguards to prevent Iran from gaining the ability to make a bomb and that it will boost Iran’s influence across the region. Iran is a key backer of Israel’s toughest enemies, and Netanyahu has warned that the ending of sanctions against Iran will result in more money and arms flowing to groups like Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.Recent opinion polls reflect these sentiments. In one survey published Sunday in the Maariv daily, 77 percent of respondents said the deal endangers Israel, compared to 15 percent who said it didn’t. The poll interviewed 500 people and had a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.An April survey of Jewish Israelis, carried out just after a preliminary nuclear deal with Iran was reached, had an equally harsh view of Obama. Just 9 percent of respondents described the White House as “pro-Israeli,” while 60 percent called it “pro- Palestinian.” More than 60 percent described Obama as the worst president for Israel in the past 30 years, far outdistancing runner-up Jimmy Carter at 16 percent.That survey, conducted by the Panels Politics agency with the Jewish Journal, questioned 503 Jewish Israelis and had a margin of error of 4.6 percentage points.In a survey of 40 countries, the Pew Research Center found the sharpest decline in Obama’s image over the past year occurred in Israel, where confidence slipped from 71 percent to 49 percent.At times, the anger toward Obama in Israel is palpable. On the streets and in online news forums, Israelis often refer to Obama by his middle name “Hussein,” a reference to his Muslim heritage on his father’s side. Last year, after an anonymous White House official used a pejorative term to describe Netanyahu as cowardly, Cabinet Minister Naftali Bennett warned that Obama was “throwing Israel under the bus.”For his part, Obama has acknowledged feeling hurt. In an address to American Jewish leaders last month, Obama underscored his deep commitment to Israel’s security and likened the debate over the Iran deal to a dispute within the family.“I would suggest that, in terms of the tone of this debate, everybody keep in mind that we’re all pro-Israel,” he said. “And we have to make sure that we don’t impugn people’s motives.”Obama has said that with the Iran deal complete, he would like to begin working with Israel on ways to increase its security and allay fears about the deal. The Haaretz daily on Sunday said talks on providing Israel with additional US weaponry have already quietly begun. Netanyahu’s office declined comment.But even if the two countries do manage to reach a new security deal, it seems unlikely that Obama will be able to repair the relationship with Netanyahu or restart Mideast peace efforts. The differences just run too deep.The White House has said it is trying to set up a meeting between Obama and Netanyahu for November, which would be their first meeting since the Iran deal was finalized.Yoram Ettinger, a former Israeli consul-general in Houston, said the issues here have little to do with personalities or alleged hostilities on the part of Obama. “It’s an issue of a gap between two very different world views,” he said.He said that in Israeli eyes, Obama is unrealistic, sending a message of weakness through his handling of the so-called Arab Spring over the past five years and by trusting an Iranian government with such a long record of defying the international community and supporting violent groups across the region.“Are you rooted in reality or are you rooted in wishful thinking,” he said.
