Newt Gingrich Blasts Obama For Endangering Israel

The Jerusalem Post reports:

"There's almost an eagerness to take on the Israeli government to make a point with the Arab world," Newt Gingrich said, speaking to the Jerusalem Post ahead of his speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's annual conference.

He called US President Barack Obama's program of engagement on Iran a "fantasy," and his Middle East policies "very dangerous for Israel." He summed up Obama's approach as "the clearest adoption of weakness since Jimmy Carter."

Instead, he maintained, the US should be sending the message to Israel that "we are for the survival of Israel" and that "we are not going to tolerate Iran getting nuclear weapons."
