Fox News strategic analyst Ralph Peters said on the channel’s “Hannity” show Tuesday night that President Obama “would not shed a tear” if Israel “disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow.”

“I am convinced, Sean, absolutely convinced, that Obama, Kerry, and company have accepted that Iran will get a bomb,” Peters said during a conversation with host Sean Hannity about Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. “They just don’t want it to happen on Obama’s watch. They want it a decent interval of denial.”

Obama “is willing to give Israel up,” Peters said later in the segment. “Let’s face it: If Israel disappeared from the face of the Earth tomorrow, Obama would not shed a tear.”
