Chris Mitchell, Middle East Bureau Chief for CBN News reported that some Israelis he spoke to “were telling me the election results were actually a reaction against the Obama administration’s influence in the campaign” on Thursday’s “Sean Hannity Show.”

“Actually, I think, Sean, what’s happened in the election is, actually, some Israelis were telling me the election results were actually a reaction against the Obama administration’s influence in the campaign–” he stated.

Mitchell added that Netanyahu’s “landslide” win would give him a “strong mandate” on defense policy.
