TEL AVIV – In recent weeks, representatives for the Obama administration have held meetings with a senior politician here in which the U.S. delegates brought up the possibility of replacing Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister, according to an informed Jerusalem diplomatic source.
The meetings were held with Israel’s popular finance minister, Yair Lapid, founder and leader of the Yesh Atid Party, which became the second-largest party in the Knesset winning 19 seats in the last election.
The diplomatic source said the Obama administration identified Lapid as a moderate who could be helpful in pushing the Israeli government into accepting the framework to create a future Palestinian state.
According to the source, the talks included the possibility of Lapid bolting Netanyahu’s government if the prime minister rejects the U.S.-brokered regional talks.
Lapid, however, is unlikely to abandon his government post over talks the Palestinians themselves have been less than enthusiastic about.

rieom, going back several weeks now I had read the same thing (from a reliable site Jerusalem Post I believe)..so there is some truth in this. It's the arrogance of these U.S. leaders that they think they can move mountains i.e. Prime Ministers, Presidents e.t.c. and get involved in telling other countries that they know who's the best leader for them. Makes me shudder to think of the repercussions that will fall on America for messing with Israel.

I am just amazed and alarmed to read this. Who do the Obama administration think they are??? I am surprised the Netanyahu government will still deal with them, they are not honest brokers
I am afraid for America.

WND is fine - they've actually broken some pretty huge stories over the years - BUT... you have to take them with a grain of salt. They're rabidly anti-Obama, to the point where it actually detracts from the message they're trying to convey, at times, and they're also extremely pro-Republican, which means that they're very much in support of guns etc. - all of which are generally Republican concerns that the rest of the world just raises eyebrows at.
With that in mind, though - every source has its biases. That doesn't invalidate information, it just means that you have to process it mindfully.

MS: This is so underhanded and the first I have read this topic. It makes me wonder how much we really do not know about what is going on behind the scenes. He is trying to set the world stage with those he can manipulate and in this process has many, many deaths on his head.
Elizabeth: And this is the "ally" Netanyahu has to sit down at the table and discuss peace talks. I was very surprised when I read this. In addition, I had read where he was trying to do this with Russia too. It is a sick, sick world we live in.
Benjamin: Good to know Benjamin to take them with a grain of salt.
