9. UN Resolution Against Israel

Relations between Obama and Israel have always been a little tenuous. Especially relations between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

However, things became very tense in December when Obama told U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power to abstain from a vote on a United Nations Security Council resolution denouncing settlement activity.

Israeli officials have accused Obama of doing more than simply stepping aside, as Netanyahu spokesman David Keyes told Fox News that they had evidence that Obama was behind the resolution.

"We have rather ironclad information from sources in both the Arab world and internationally that this was a deliberate push by the United States and in fact they helped create the resolution in the first place," claimed Keyes.
