Someone should tell Oren to Shut TFU

Right out of the starting gate, Oren wants to cave to Obama’s demands. Unfortunately Kulanu hasn’t endorsed Bibi yet. With a peace position like this, he may as well be with Herzog.

By Gil Ronen, INN

MK-elect Michael Oren (Kulanu) reacted Sunday to statements by US President Barack Obama about an alleged erosion of Israel’s democratic nature, saying that they indicate “a strategic blow to Israel’s standing in the world.”

[..]

“The new government of Israel must, without delay, operate actively to rehabilitate the relationship with the US, to strengthen the military, intelligence and diplomatic cooperation, for the sake of the continued strategic friendship that is so vital for Israel.”

  2. I am going to get some of my friends on Israpundit mad here.

    Oren is too soft and weak and I am not of his viewpoint. However, that said Obama is causing Israel a lot of diplomatic damage. Oren, is very accurate on that.

    What to do I would suggest Israel start talking about new paradigms and point out why is no one talking about Palestinian rejection of a two state solution in real practical application if one state is Jewish and one Arab Muslim.

    This must be the line of discussion and why it ridiculous to talk about two states for two people.

  3. Netanyahu cannot accept Oren into his governing coalition as such would be tantamount to accepting the Oren prescription thesis, a poisonous one imo, that Oren is correct. Oren should be ejected from Kulanu as a pre-condition for acceptance into the new gov’t coalition.

  4. Mr. Netanyahu has received unmistakable suggestions regarding Michael Oren being unacceptable for any form of government function, direct or indirect. The reaction by Mr. Netanyahu is unknown.
    There is a second group of US administration operatives now operating here, Their function is post electoral subversion. They are known I am told. One way or another they will find their way back to DC soon. So far they also failed.
    Grapevine rumors.
    Lapid may replace Mr. Kohalon’s aggregate in the coalition if the later remain aligned with Galant and Oren.

  6. @B.Ross – they all say the same thing, but Obama doesn’t write the script. Which leftist(s) does the writing and directing, that’s the question.

  7. @ Not Ovenready:
    @ Avigail:

    It would appear Mr Obama wasted his US taxpayer dollars trying to bribe the Arab Joint List. Jeremy’s Knesset Insider reports that the Arab list turned in no coalition recommendations when their turn came up. They appear to be remaining neutral in the coalition negotiations.

    So Netanyahu thus far has 51 Knesset seat commitments, including 30 for Likud, 8 for Beit Yehudi, 7 for Shas, and 6 for United Tora Judaism. Herzog has only 24 representing Labor+Livni. Jeremy considers that a solid victory so far for Netanyahu. Tomorrow, which is already early Monday for you folks in Eretz-Yisrael, Rivlin receives and reviews recommendations from Yesh Atid (11 seats) Kulanu (10 seats), Yisrael Beitenu (6 seats), and Meretz (5 seats).

    Assuming no major surprises, this means Netanyahu will have a coalition of 67 MKs, with the Herzog and Livni, if she sticks with him, will have 40 MKs, or 54 MKs if and when the Arab list MKs vote with the leftists. I would call that a stable coalition.

  8. everything I hear coming out of t e mouths of the left appears to have been first said by Obama. this gaggle of parrots, poodles and lapdogs appear to have no existence beyond that which Obama has scripted for them in advance. they had no platform during the election beyond the obama bb quarrel and never debated the core of the Iran deal. These Parroting childish fools should quietly retire to their shadows in shame at the prospect of having been the tool of a foreign hostile President unleashing an illegal and unauthorized attack on the election process of Israel. In some nations they would receive the firing squad. Oren appears to merely be an underling lackey who doesn’t even get his instructions direct from Obama. Why is he even talking, its not as if anyone is listening to him.

  10. I wouldn’t be surprised if the DC operatives are still around and trying to undermine the potential coalition participants.

  11. Oren is to be sternly rejected to be part of any official or unofficial function of state other than being, regrettably part of the Knesset. I would guess his closest ally would be Zoabi.
    Netanyahu himself elevated that one to a position or relevance.

  12. Agreed with the title, but maybe Kulanu is just raising the auction, who knows…

    In the end they won’t have a choice and my take is that Bibi is going to ignore the barking…
