The relationship between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is at an all-time low, say officials in both countries. Netanyahu has recently said that he has "written off" the U.S. administration, while senior Obama officials are calling the prime minister "a chickenshit" and a "coward."
