Dunno if it's true or not, since Washington flatly denied it. However, it's a very balsy move for Olmest to boast about it. Is he flexing his muscle to Obama, saying that he has the power to change US vote in the UN? |
He's not flexing toward Obama - he's flexing toward the upcoming Israeli elections. Actually, you could argue that the timing and structure of the entire Gaza offensive has been a literal affront to Netanyahu and the upcoming election cycle.
