Reported by Reuters – true sentiments come out ! French President Nicolas Sarkozy told US President Barack Obama last week he was fed up with dealing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and considered him a liar.

Sarkozy made the comment during a private conversation with Obama during a G20 summit in the French riviera town of Cannes last week and the remarks were overheard by a small number of journalists but not initially reported.

 

 

“I cannot bear Netanyahu, he’s a liar,” Sarkozy told Obama during a frank exchange where the US president took him to task for backing a Palestinian request for membership of the UN cultural heritage agency UNESCO.

 

The original report in report in the French website Arret sur Images said on Monday that Obama is quoted to have replied to Sarkozy with: “You’re fed up with him, but I have to deal with him every day!”

A Reuters reporter was among the journalists present and can confirm the veracity of the comments, which were relayed by a French internet outlet on Tuesday. Read more here: http://occupiedpalestine.wordpress.com/2011/11/08/sarkozy-tells-obama-i-cannot-bear-netanyahu-hes-a-liar/
