The Palestinian Unity Government created a complete horse that Obama now can deal with. He cannot deal with a horse without the torso. Obama has already made the blue print for the State of Palestine which will be created before the end of this year.

Nobody was surprised of Obama endorsing the Palestinian terror government. The only surprise was the speed of it. The man couldn't wait for his bombshell to explode. Next 'no surprise will be: Obama endorsing Hamastan alongside (or preferably instead of) Israel! This is not a leader, but a loser playing tit for tat with all those having the nerve not agreeing with the great visions of the ONE from Chicago.

he is constantly wrong...no surprises!

who or what he supports, the final decisions will be made by the government of Israel.

Thank you, Mr. Calic. Would it not then be entirely appropriate for the State of Israel to deliver the ultimate smackdown to the current U.S. administration and annex Judea and Samaria? Quickly followed by the deportation of all West Bank Arabs to Gaza, where they can work on their "unity agreement" up close and personal. Such a move would meet with overwhelming approval by the people of the United States (Israel's popularity has been soaring; the "palestinians" aren't doing terribly well in American polls). Security Council veto? Who cares?

Mr Calic has it right.

Are all backing the wrong horse. Why is everyone picking on Obama? The UN, China, Russia, India, EU all support working with the new government to name a few out of a hundred countries. Why single out the US? Is the US indebted to the State of Israel? Is Obama bad for America? Maybe yes, however Bibi's arrogance doesn't help, and attacking Kerry didn't help consider the Secretary of State guides American foreign policy just as much as the POTUS or even more.

it makes no difference since all decisions are made by netanyahu and his government. all that obama has done thus far has ended in catastrophe: egypt, iraq, syria, lybia, Afghanistan, iran.

a son of muslim and a friend of the most extreme muslim fringe. His acts show it and the article is right

Fortunately it's not your horse and not your business as long as I'm concern ,... By the way, accompanied by the rest of the civilized peace loving world if you happen to miss it ,...

... is not as much that he is pro-Islamist, but that he has no backbone. He has proven time again that he is scared taking hard decisions that require courage.

The reason for Obama's support for the Palestinian unity government is clear. Just ask the question, what would the Muslim Brotherhood want, and that is what Obama will do. Obama has demonstrated that he is an advocate for the Muslim Brotherhood. His appointment of Muslim Brotherhood to his White House Advisory Council attests to that.

SO-AND-SO has won and is the new President of the United States! [NO MORE OBUMMER!]

And, you know this because you have access to Obama's brain?You could not live without posting on a Jewish site.Right idiot?

The western world has assisted him by supporting the so called "arab spring" We have seen some results of this . The western world has also destroyed Iraq . Saddam Hussein was a dictator , yes . But what do we have now in this country ? The world is still "sleeping" and because of so called "democratic values" are betting on the wrong horses in many places .

You're a nobody and your concern is useless here.

The only people that are stupider than Obama aren't just those who voted the second time for him, but those who actually think he is a good president.

Right between the eyes as always.

Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by quite a few countries, including the United States. United States law prohibits ANY contact with terrorist organizations. The last I checked, that law applies to the president of the United States as well as every other United States citizen, including members of the American administration. Do you mean to suggest otherwise? Do you think that adherence to the law allows one to cherry-pick which laws to follow and which ones to ignore? Are you an anarchist, Harold, or just a braying jackass? Still haven't explained your first-hand knowledge, and personal experience, of the United States airlift of Iraqi Jews to Israel in 1948, which you asserted you have. I guess that is because the only airlift of Iraqi Jews to Israel did not take place until 1950, ended in 1952, and did not involve any state other than the State of Israel. The United States never airlifted a single Jew to Israel, ever, at any time. So, please account for your "first-hand knowledge" and "personal experience."

That's what happens when you elect an incompetent fool to the highest office in the United States and, arguably, the most powerful office in the world. Except since he was not elected by the people of the world, he needs to restrict his ineptitude to the people of the United States. Obama will go down in history as the worst American president in history. His pursuit of a personal agenda has left the world in a mess, has reduced him to an object of domestic and international contempt and ridicule, and has grievously damaged United States influence and prestige. But openly embracing a terrorist organization is a direct contravention of United States law. The very laws that the president takes an oath to uphold. It's up to the Congress of the United States to take action. Mid-term elections are coming up in November; Congressional representatives are listening to their voting constituencies. Impeachment is a very real possibility. The president is not above the law.

Obama is on the record as being proud of his Kenyan birth and his Moslem faith. When it became more politically expedient, he reinvented himself and became proud of his Hawaiian birth and his Christian faith. Was he lying then? Or is he lying now? But engaging with a terrorist organization in any fashion is a direct contravention of United States law. The president is not above the law.

A great leader. Good for the World, good for Israel. Pragmatic. Cooperation with the new unity government will encourage all to engage ni dialogue and to seek compromises, while keeping certain red lines. Obama is not "backing the islamists". He is determined to work for Peace and democracy. But the situation in Iraq and Syria might become is biggest and most difficult challenge.

Since when has the law, any law, applied to Obama? Have you heard of Fast and Furious? The immigration scandal? NSA scandal? Drone scandal? The IRS scandal? Voting Fraud? Election funding? Benghazi? Bergdahl? Obama does not follow any law, not even the Constitution, and I challenge you to prove otherwise.

Only America - aka Obama - has stated categorically that they "have Israel's back". None of the others have lied as Obama has, said one thing and done another. Obama has made himself out to be a friend of Israel while stabbing us in the back. We're not picking on him, merely stating the truth.
