Moshe Yaalon, whose remarks were reported in the Haaretz daily on Tuesday, caused friction with the United States only two months ago when he described Secretary of State John Kerry’s quest for Israeli-Palestinian peace as messianic and obsessive.
His latest comments, confirmed by an Israeli official who was present at lecture Yaalon delivered at Tel Aviv University on Monday, displayed deep disappointment with U.S. President Barack Obama’s handling of burning world issues.
“We had thought it would be the United States that would lead the campaign against Iran,” said Yaalon, who pointed to the Ukraine crisis as an example of Washington “showing weakness”.

What happens to the United States when the rest of the world realizes that the emperor has no clothes? The media cannot give the pResident cover outside the country. As the world laughs at Obama, we the people will suffer the consequences of a pResident elected by voter fraud and entitlements. It is time for self reflection: what will you do to restore a moral nation?
