The Washington article reports Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is said to be rallying support to thwart the U.S. President’s bid to become the Secretary-General of the United Nations after he leaves the White House. It says the President has already discussed the issue with political officials in the United States, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Jarida.
Mr. Netanyahu recently is said to have gotten wind of the plans, saying that he “…is the worst president Israel has had to deal with and the worst president for the Middle East and its allies, the moderate Arab states,” the paper quotes a Netanyahu aide.
