Knesset speaker: Obama's win may force steps on Israel
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said US President Barack Obama's winning of the Nobel Peace Prize was peculiar. "If the Nobel Prize should have been given according to his achievements as a politician, I would award it to him," said Rivlin.
"I'm afraid the Nobel Peace Prize was given to him so that he will see through steps that are against the interests of the State of Israel" said Rivlin, adding that he is "concerned granting the award to Obama will force Israel to take certain steps." (Amnon Meranda)
