Hank Sheinkopf, former adviser to ex-US President Bill Clinton during his election campaign from 1995 to 1996, spoke with Arutz Sheva about the complicated political relations between Israeli and American leaders.

Speaking about the tense relations between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama, Sheinkopf remarked that how the world feels about Netanyahu is not important to Israelis, whereas it is very important to American Jews who directly deal with public perceptions of the Jewish state.

As far as Netanyahu and Obama not getting along, he opined it "is no different than Clinton and Netanyahu not getting along," noting an "ideological inconsistency" behind the tensions.

"American presidents are used to dealing with Jews who are Democrats and liberals, and here (that) is not the case with Netanyahu," explained Sheinkopf, claiming Netanyahu is more along the lines of a Republican.

On a different topic, Sheinkopf spoke about Israel's difficulties in presenting its case to the world.

I am fairly sure this was an editorial in the Pravda written shortly after Obama was originally elected.

Odd that he just happens to be speaking to an Israeli newspaper during an election campaign in Israel. /s
