Congress Demands Obama Explain Rumored Sanctions Against Israel

(Washington Free Beacon) Members of Congress are demanding that President Obama come clean about controversial reports that he is considering leveling sanctions on Israel, according to a letter sent Friday afternoon by lawmakers to the White House.
The Obama administration has found itself engulfed in controversy since reports emerged Thursday that the White House and State Department had met in secret to strategize about imposing sanctions on Israel for its continued building of houses in contested Jerusalem neighborhoods.
State Department and White House officials have continued to dodge questions from reporters on the matter, maintaining that they will neither confirm nor deny the reports.
The administration's evasive position has prompted outrage among pro-Israel leaders and prompted Congress to demand that Obama start answering questions about the delicate issue.
"We urge you and your administration to clarify these reports immediately," Rep. Mark Meadows (R., N.C.) and nearly 50 other House lawmakers wrote Friday afternoon, according to a copy of the letter obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
"Israel is one of our strongest allies, and the mere notion that the administration would unilaterally impose sanctions against Israel is not only unwise, but is extremely worrisome," they state. "Such reports send a clear message to our friends and enemies alike that such alliances with the United States government can no longer be unquestionably trusted."
Congress, which traditionally has purview over such measures, has never given the White House permission to sanction Israel.
"At no point in time has Congress given the administration the authority to sanction Israel," they wrote. "In fact, Congress has continued to show its unwavering support for Israel and has recently taken steps to increase our economic and military cooperation."

Will Anti-Christ Obama continue to throw this nation under the bus over Israel?  Will this nation allow him to continue?  He is putting this nation under the curse of God.  How much longer before we hit the streets?
