MESOPOTAMIA NEWS : BIBI STILL HOLDS ON TRUMP ! – Netanyahu appoints controversial adviser who trashed Obama and Biden

Aaron Klein, former Breitbart journalist, hired by Netanyahu as strategic consultant; Said Biden should be concerned about Russian collusion

By GIL HOFFMAN   – JERUSALEM POST – JUNE 8, 2020 14:39 – Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden should be concerned about colluding with Russia and former President Barack Obama treated Israel “like it was a shithole” are some of the controversial comments made by a new strategic adviser Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hired last week.

Aaron Klein, a former journalist for Breitbart, was hired by Netanyahu as a strategic and communications consultant for the Likud Party.

“Klein left a full-time successful career as a reporter to help Israel, as it finds itself facing unprecedented challenges during the coronavirus pandemic, amid the international debate on the issue of applying sovereignty and other pressing matters,” a Likud source said.

The Jerusalem-based Klein worked on strategy during the Likud’s campaign in the last election and his role was praised by the campaign chairman and current Finance Minister Israel Katz. During that time, he became especially close to Netanyahu.

“Working with Prime Minister Netanyahu is what I’d imagine it would be like to work with Winston Churchill,” Klein told The Jerusalem Post. “There is no one else like him and there never will be. Netanyahu already saved the country during the initial health and economic crisis of this pandemic. Israel is lucky that he is leading the Jewish state, especially during this period where the country finds itself at such a critical strategic juncture.”

Klein, 41, most recently served as Jerusalem bureau chief and senior investigative reporter for Breitbart News, reporting last month on Biden’s involvement in what he termed the Russia collusion hoax.

“If the very origins of this investigation are proven to be criminal, then Joe Biden has a lot to be concerned about,” he said in radio interview with SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Sunday.
