Dan Margalit, columnist for Israel Hayom, spells out the upcoming political season in Israel:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends for the elections to be held on Jan. 15. Political commentator Ayala Hasson said on Channel 1 on Tuesday that the goal is to shape the Israeli political map before the next American president is sworn into office on Jan. 20.

A commandendable job in both internal and external affairs, the state of Israel and the state of the Middle East at this time in history…….

As America does to Israel, it will happen to America.

THE ISRAELI P.M. IS DOING A GREAT JOB !
MAY HE BE RETURNED TO POWER WITH A GREATER MAJORITY AND WITH GODLY WISDOM AND ANOINTING .!

Israel is really our spiritual partner and we need to have a strong leader such as Netanyahu for our staunch ally, and friend. Good luck Mr Netanyahu, and may God bless and protect you and Israel.

What happens in Israel will ultimately effect the entire world . However , what they do politically is their business alone. Neither Obama, Clinton or any other politician has the right to interfere .
9:35 pm
Benjamin is the right man for this time and the problems Israel is facing. Israel can’t expect much from America. We can’t even protect our own people and our embassies.
4:44 pm
VERY SMART IDEA AND THE REASONING BEHIND IT IS VERY VALID. IF OBAMA HAPPENS TO BE ELECTED AGAIN, EVERYONE IN AMERICA AND IN ISRAEL WILL BE ON THEIR OWN. GOD HELP US. SO I PRAY FOR ALL THAT GOD SHOWS FAVOUR ON US AND ALLOWS ROMNEY TO BE THE VICTOR.

Excellent plan, Benjamin Nathanyahu has the upper hand totally for Israel needs. Has 100% the quality, respect, intelligence, well articulated the best you can get. Why not sooner? January 5th 2013.

I love and respect this man so much. God bless

Prime Minister Netanyahu is right. He will have a much more pro-Israeli friend in Romney than the pro-Arab Obama.It’s a shame that he was able to fool enough Americans to get into the White House.
12:41 pm
I think he is RIGHT ON!
12:21 pm
I know when this president leaves office we as the people of the USA will stand right beside Israel and defend her as should be.

I believe Mr.Netanyahu is doing the best he can do for his Country and his People, and I deeply Admire and Respect the way he stood his ground and spoke his piece even when President Obama clearly did’nt like it.G_d-Bless You and Isreal !.
