Jeffrey Golberg: Obama Wants Livni as Prime Minister
Tzipi Livni's latest attack on the Prime minister, jumping on President
Obama's warning of Netanyahu leaked to Jeffrey Goldberg, is not only a
'Wake-up Call" as Livni put it,
but more than a wishful thinking by President Obama to see Benjamin
Netanyahu replaced as Prime minister by a more centrist Prime minister.
In a column in The Atlantic magazine titled “What Obama is Actually Trying to Do in Israel,”
Jeffrey Goldberg revealed back in March of 2010, that President wants
to see Livni replace Netanyahu as prime Minister, or at the very least
push her to join the Netanyahu government, causing a rupture in
Netanyahu’s coalition by all means.
“I’ve been on the phone with many of the usual suspects (White House and otherwise), and I think it’s fair to say that Obama
is not trying to destroy America’s relations with Israel; he’s trying
to organize Tzipi Livni’s campaign for prime minister, or at least for her inclusion in a broad-based centrist government,” Goldberg wrote.
“I’m not actually suggesting that the White House is directly meddling
in internal Israeli politics, but it’s clear to everyone – at the White
House, at the State Department, at Goldblog – that no progress will be
made on any front if Avigdor Lieberman’s far-right party, Israel
Beiteinu, and Eli Yishai’s fundamentalist Shas Party, remain in
Netanyahu’s surpassingly fragile coalition.”
