Earlier this week Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) blasted the Obama administration’s handling of the unfolding military crisis developing between Israel and Palestine saying “I thought nothing this president could ever say or do would surprise me anymore, but this flushed and breathless rush to embrase terrorists launching rockets at Israeli children is an unprecedented act of cowardice and betrayal” 

Franks called for America’s fleet to be depolyed to the cost of Ireal to “protect our most precious ally on earth.” 

In June the Obama administration signaled support and crtizied Israel for being unwilling to niegotitate with the newly formed  “government of national unity” that included the participation of Islamist militant group Hamas.
