Ehud Barak tells Piers Morgan: Obama "is friendly to Israel, especially in security-related issues"


Piers Morgan exclusively interviews Ehud Barak tonight, and the Israeli Defense Minister weighed in on Pres. Barack Obama's Middle East policy. "He is friendly to Israel, especially in security-related issues," he said. "He is also trying, to the best of my judgement, to be even-handed with the Palestinians."

Barak wouldn't comment directly on the 2012 race, but he did refute Rick Perry's statements about the Obama administration today. "I don't think appeasement is an accurate description of the policy of this administration," he said.
