UN AMBASSADOR SUSAN RICE SKIPS NETANAYHU’S SPEECH FOR A LEISOURELY LUNCH WITH HILLARY
Disgraceful: Amb. Susan Rice ditched Netanyahu’s speech for leisurely lunch with Hillary
Yesterday, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the UN General Assembly. Common sense — and decency — would dictate that Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, would be present for such an occasion. Rice, however, felt differently. Her empty chair stayed behind to take in the speech while she slipped out for lunch with Hillary Clinton. Priorities! What’s one of America’s most important and faithful allies when a Cobb salad is on the line? Not much, apparently.
Fox News’ Greta van Susteren discussed the snub with our former UN ambassador, John Bolton. Both saw it as a bad move on Rice’s part, a move particularly troubling in light of the treatment Israel has received from the UN and from our own president. Bolton called it “simply one more brick in the wall of the case that the president’s perfectly prepared to isolate Israel and that he does not hold the U.S.-Israel relationship in the same regard high regard as every other president going back to Harry Truman.”
