Obama isn’t finished with his anti-Israel moves. He still has over 20 days to try and pull whatever schemes he can to “punish” Israel and Bibi Netanyahu. It’s gotten to the point that Netanyahu is trying to get President-elect Trump to stop Obama’s next attempt to punish Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday night reportedly attempted to reach out to President-elect Donald Trump and the U.S. Congress to block a potential last-minute bid by the Obama administration to have the UN Security Council approve parameters for a Palestinian state.
After the anti-settlement resolution was passed on Friday, Netanyahu’s office said he was encouraged by the incoming U.S. administration and working with Trump to “to negate the harmful effects of this absurd resolution.”According to the Times of Israel citing Israel’s Channel 2, Netanyahu told colleagues off the record, “They are spitting at us.”
“We will respond forcefully,” he added.
On Sunday night Netanyahu summoned the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, asking him for an explanation as to why the Obama administration broke with decades of U.S. policy and failed to use its veto rights to shelve Resolution 2334.
