Dawn.com, Washington :
US President Barack Obama has set his sights on becoming the next Secretary General of the United Nations when he leaves the White House in one year, the US media reported on Sunday.
Mr Obama has already discussed the issue with Republican, Democratic and Jewish officials in the United States, the media claimed.
The report, first published in an Arabic language Kuwaiti magazine Al Jarida on Friday, was noticed by the US media only when Israeli officials confirmed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not only aware of Mr Obama’s plan but was also working with moderate Arab states to prevent the US president from achieving his goal.
The Israeli prime minister “is planning payback for President Obama’s dismissing Mr Netanyahu’s objections to the Iran nuclear deal last year,” The Washington Times newspaper reported, quoting several major Israeli media outlets, such as The Jerusalem Post.
