There is no doubt US President-elect Barack Obama could work well with Likud
head Binyamin Netanyahu, should the latter become Israel's next prime
minister, Congressman Robert Wexler, one of Obama's most prominent early
supporters in the Jewish community, told The Jerusalem Post Wednesday.
Prefacing his comments with the caveat that he did not want to meddle in
Israeli politics, and that it was up to Israelis to pick their leader,
Wexler said, "I know that Obama and Netanyahu have met on at least two
occasions. I was with Barack when he met with Netanyahu at National Airport
in Washington a year-and-a-half ago.
"I am confident that should he become the prime minister, Bibi Netanyahu
would get along very well with Barack Obama, and the two of them would work
in concert toward the achievement of mutual interests. I have no doubt about
that."
