US President Barack Obama has threatened to lift the ban on the veto given to Israel, a decision that many view as a threat to Israel's existence, Israeli news sites reported today...

The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that Netanyahu supporters are worried at what they feel is Obama's betrayal of Israel at the United Nations. 

Maariv quoted an Israeli politician as saying: "Obama intends to abandon Israel as it faces the UN Security Council in an effort to block Israel's decision to build on Palestinian territory that has been occupied since 1967."...

 

…The power of the US veto is what has ensured Israel's stability in the region thus far and it remains essential to its position within the region, as it has been in past agreements with Egypt following the 1973 war."
