Go Bibi, go to Washington and leave your sick country behind

This country is no longer your concern. You see no relation to its hardships. This country entering its second lockdown, which may see its third, will hit another economic crisis, one that will make the crisis we are in now, with hundreds of thousands of unemployed - seem like child's play.

Our aging parents are made to pay the price of isolation and loneliness forced to fade away in solitude.

This country with people struggling to put food on the table is of no interest to you as long as your elegant meals are served to you on your flight out of here.

This country with its collapsing health system, failing social system and downtrodden citizenry, its out-of- work force, out-of school students – having accepted all mitigation efforts during the first lockdown, with the best intentions - has become your private kingdom to do with it as you please as long as it is in your personal benefit.

Look at us, Bibi, not at Bahrain. To hell with Bahrain, who cares about Bahrain or the UAE. They can do nothing for the Israeli struggling to make ends meet.

A Detached Netanyahu Leaves Israel and Reality for ‘Historic Mission’

As Israel braces for its second full-scale lockdown, Netanyahu glosses over his coronavirus failure and rushes off to a signing ceremony in Washington

Benjamin Netanyahu’s smile at the end of the briefing said it all. He had just announced that Israel was about to enter a three-week nationwide COVID-19 lockdown, the first and so far only country to do so anywhere in the world for the second time, but he was happy. “I’ve got to fly to Washington now,” he joked to the shocked reporters in the room. “If you haven’t got any more questions you want to ask me.” And with that, he left for his plane at Ben-Gurion Airport.

Netanyahu had prefaced and ended his briefing with his imminent trip − the first time he’s leaving the country in nearly eight months. “I’m about to leave, on your behalf,” he began the briefing. “I’m going on a historic mission.” Two Arab countries establishing diplomatic relations with Israel is no doubt a historic event. Whether going to a signing ceremony of a document that isn’t the actual agreements with either the United Arab Emirates or Bahrain (those have yet to be finalized), and to which the two other signatories are sending only their foreign ministers, is a “historic mission” is debatable. To do so when citizens are frantically stockpiling and preparing themselves for at least three weeks of lockdown over the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot, and business owners are wondering whether they will still have a business when this is over, is a shocking detachment from the reality Israelis are experiencing.

It was a briefing devoid of reality. Netanyahu – who less than four months ago had triumphantly announced to Israelis that under his leadership the country had beaten the coronavirus and now they could go out and “have a cup of coffee, have a beer as well. Have fun” – now insisted that it had all been for the best. The hasty emergence from the first lockdown had apparently saved Israel’s economy from shrinking as much as that of other countries, he claimed, quickly pointing to a chart to prove this. Which it did if you ignore the fact that only countries whose GDP had shrunk more than Israel’s minus seven percent had been selected, and that the timeframe was misleading as it didn’t include the last couple of months in which daily infection rates in Israel sky-rocketed to number one in the world. Netanyahu of course didn’t mention that.

State Department reported Burisma paid bribe while Hunter Biden served on board, memos show

State, DOJ officials reported to FBI concerns Ukraine gas firm made bribe to local prosecutors while under corruption investigation.

Just eight months after Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter joined the board of Burisma Holdings, U.S. officials in Kiev developed evidence that the Ukrainian gas company may have paid a $7 million bribe to the local prosecutors investigating the firm for corruption, according to interviews and State Department memos.

State officials believed the alleged bribe was paid between May and December 2014 and got confirmation from one prosecutor. They argued the bribe amounted to a "gross miscarriage of justice that undermined months of US assistance" to fight corruption in Ukraine, contemporaneous memos show.

The concerns were eventually reported to the FBI, although it is not clear whether the allegations were ever investigated more fully, according to current and former U.S. and Ukrainian government officials.

The anecdote, buried in five-year-old diplomatic files, provides a fresh illustration of the awkward, uncomfortable conflict of interest State officials perceived as they tried to fight pervasive corruption in Ukraine under Joe Biden's leadership while the vice president's son collected large payments as a board member for an energy firm widely viewed as corrupt.

The concerns first came to a head in January 2015, the memos show, about eight months after Hunter Biden was named to Burisma's board and after two major corruption investigations — one in Ukraine and the other in Britain — were opened against the gas firm.

George Kent, then a State Department official newly sent to the U.S. embassy in Kiev to lead anti-corruption efforts, was concerned the bribery allegations surrounding Prosecutor General Vitaly Yarema were credible enough that he sought a meeting with one of Yarema's deputies to demand action, according to State Department memos.

His concern was triggered when Yarema took action over the Christmas 2014 holidays to undercut both the British and Ukraine investigations of Burisma and its founder Mykola Zlochevsky, and the U.S. embassy received word a $7 million bribe had changed hands, State memos show.

The Feb. 3, 2015 meeting involved Kent, one of Yarema's top deputies, Anatoliy Danylenko, as well as the DOJ's liaison in Ukraine, Jeffrey Cole, memos show. It was arranged by Andrii Telizhenko, an English-speaking mid-level Ukrainian government official long trusted by the Obama administration in Kiev and Washington to facilitate contacts between the two countries.

"No problem, works for us. I'll get you the names soonest. Likely George and Jeff Cole. Will confirm later," U.S. embassy official Gregory W. Pfleger wrote Telizhenko in a lengthy Jan. 31, 2015 email chain that arranged the location, date and attendees for the meeting for three days later.
