Opposition leader Tzipi Livni on Wednesday delivered a speech full of barbed criticisms both of the Netanyahu government's conduct in peace negotiations and the reactions among many media commentators and Israeli political figures that the Democrats' recent electoral loss was good for Israel.
'For those of you who believe that the loss of Obama is good for Netanyahu, I ask myself have you all gone crazy??' Livni said rhetorically, making reference to the results of the previous day's midterm elections in the US."
