French President Nikolas Sarkozy doesn’t seem to trust Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that much. In a private conversation with President Barack Obama during the G20 summit, Sarkozy told the US president that Netanyahu is a liar and he (Sarkozy) cannot bear him.
Sarkozy never realized that his microphone was on when he made the comment. The comment was heard by the entire pressmen at the meeting in the various translations. President Obama’s reply to the comments of the French leader suggested that he agreed with him.
Unaware that their microphones were still active, Sarkozy said that, “I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar.”
President Obama replied “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you.”
This will undoubtedly be an embarrassing moment for all the leaders involved. The United States has been the biggest friend of Israel for several years but suspicion has crept into the relationship between the two nations since Obama became the president.
The United States is meditating talks between the Palestinians and the Israelis in a bid to bring a lasting peace to the Middle East. Palestine recently presented a petition to the United Nations to be admitted as a full member.
