🇺🇲🇮🇱 Obama just accused Netanyahu and Israel of being shortsighted, and of “ceding moral ground”
He reflected on the Israeli PM's statements that Israel is the strongest and most technologically advanced state in the region...
Simply doing whatever it needs and taking whatever it wants, without making concessions to ANYONE.
He said, "That may work short-term. But you have ceded moral ground if that is the position you take.”
Pssh, like Bibi cares about any "morality" besides his own...

♦️ Obama, who clashed with Netanyahu for years over settlements and the 2015 Iran deal, criticized him in Belfast Oct 13 for relying on military/tech superiority without Palestinian concessions, claiming Israel has “ceded moral ground” short-term while ignoring 7 million Palestinians who “aren’t going anywhere.”
• He’s pushing a two-state framework and moral equivalence narrative to pressure Israel toward restraint amid Gaza/Lebanon ops, aiming to influence global opinion and Democratic foreign policy views ahead of US midterms where Middle East stability could sway voters.
• Bottom line: Obama’s timing amplifies anti-Bibi voices just before Israel’s Oct 27 election and US midterms, reinforcing his long-held view that unchecked Israeli strength undermines lasting peace.
