The Obama administration is pressuring Israeli generals to stop publicly voicing their concerns about the administration’s security proposals in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and instead endorse the administration’s plans, according to Israeli media reports.
The administration is seeking a complete or partial IDF withdrawal from the Jordan Valley, where the border between Israel and Jordan lies at the eastern edge of Judea and Samaria, also called the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority has long sought control of the valley. However, Israel and Jordan are opposed to an IDF withdrawal, which they fear would enable the transit of terrorists and arms through Jordan into the West Bank.
After a prominent retired Israeli general spoke out against IDF withdrawal from the Jordan Valley, Israeli media reported that the Obama administration’s head envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, Martin Indyk, convened a meeting of Israeli security officials. He pressured them to drop their objections to the plan and make media appearances in support of it to help sell a skeptical Israeli public on the benefits of a reduction in security.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
IDF, Stand your ground and don’t back down, especially to what our dear leader thinks.
That’s right. Val’s in charge.
If you like your jewish state, you can keep your
jewish state. Maybe...
It’s time for Israel to tell the Obama administration
to piss off.
If the Israelis do not prepare for their national security, who will?
Certainly not the Current Regime now squatting in the Oval Orifice.
The Won is more than willing to give away huge chunks of Israel, all of it, even, if he thinks this will win him some kind of legacy, now that Obamacare is in a death spiral.
Hmmm.
I wonder how much leverage the NSA is giving the Regime over these Generals?
The enemy reveals himself (as if there was ever any doubt)
Obama has made the US military a political tool for misdirection and a social experiment. I guess he expects Israel to do the same. The more Zer0 squeals like a pig, the more open and belligerent Israel should be about his brain-dead policies. Buzzard puke smells better than the stench of this administration and the Rat party of death.
I can hear obamaramadindong now “ Look if I can ignore the U.S. Constitution and the rights of the American people you should be able to ignore the safety of Israel!”
Jordan knows the problem, too ... those Islamic terrorists would like nothing better than to overthrow the King. They did try that several decades ago and the former King (the King’s father) drove out the terrorist group. They haven’t forgotten that.
maybe he will make himself an enemy of the mossad... hope and change, baby... :-)
Call O’ and all his clowns SCHMUCKS
A foreign government trying to influence your military would be....
cause for war?
Meddling into the internal affairs of a sovereign nation. Attempting to destabilize a sovereign nation by influencing the military component of that nation, to the detriment of the democratically elected representatives.
0bama is an international criminal and thug, no different than the jihadis or any other extralegal criminal entity.
I’m sure the IDF Generals know this, but maybe the lib lurkers need to be reminded. You (the IDF) don’t work-for nor report-to bammy. Keep your powder dry!
That sheep costume never hid his teeth very well anyway.
