The United States' Ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, has emphatically rejected the authenticity of an audio tape released Tuesday night, said to be a leaked recording of a conversation between Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, in which the US President reportedly sought to aggressively push an unfavorable ceasefire on Israel.
"Have seen reports of an alleged Obama-Netanyahu transcript; neither reports nor alleged transcript bear any resemblance to reality," Ambassador Shapiro posted on his official Twitter account.
"Shocking and disappointing someone would sink to misrepresenting a private convo between POTUS and PM in fabrications to Israeli press," he added in another.

These reports say that a “tape” or “recording” was released. Where can this recording be heard? All I’ve seen are transcripts. If there was a recording leaked, it would be very interesting and bad for the side that leaked it. Who is bugging the President’s conversations? Or the PMs?

Since it's an audio tape I'm thinking it's legit. Yes, they can be faked but it
sounds like crap Obama would say. He has never been a friend of Israel and always supported muslims.
March 6, 2007, Nicholas D. Kristof New York Times interview:
He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics and more likely to be aware of their nationalism if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.

I went to the link and listened to it all. It’s not the recording. It’s just the transcript.

Other stories say it was released by a “senior US official”. Cloak & Dagger stuff...?
To: Nachum
...neither reports nor alleged transcript bear any resemblance to reality... Well, gee, that sounds like authentic Obama to me.

If it was a “right wing racist Obama hater” trap, they would have waited longer before denying it.

That is just the news report on Israeli TV, though the blonde lady anchor is a looker.

Obama speaks Hebrew? LOL. I meant, the stories say the “recording of the conversation” was leaked. If so I imagine it would be in English since that is the common language both POTUS and PMI speak.
To: Nachum
Gee, I’ll bet that (denying the conversation) only verifies that it was a true report. Embarrassing the US IS the Obama’s trademark.

When your M O is lying for six years what can you expect. If this group ever had to tell the truth who would believe them. They created this world for themselves. As you sow you shall reap!

I would actually read it the other way - this would be a left-wing sting to make PMI look bad. As the “conversation” indicates, Israel is getting pressure in the streets in Europe and this leak would be Obama’s way of show solidarity - sort of Obamas way of saying “the US congress and Americans strongly support Israel, but I don’t! So just letting you know... I’m with you!” Reminiscent of his “if the winds shift” comment.

Lip reading Obama in video he appears to be saying,”death to the Jews, Ali Akbar!”
