A senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with White House policy, said that U.S. officials understood Netanyahu’s “need to tack to the right” during his campaign. “We get that those are tactics,” the official said.

Not only calling him out, but using his nickname in a dismissive way. And President Obama not calling him until today. Bibi has well and truly stepped in it.
