Addressing the residents of Amona settlement, the "Israeli" regime's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said US President Barack Obama represents "an existential danger" to the illegal settlement in Palestinian territories, "Israeli" media reported Wednesday.

The illegal Amona settlement was built on lands privately owned by Palestinians, who successfully petitioned "Israeli" courts for the outpost's removal. It is slated for demolition in December.

Channel Two News quoted the rightist premier as saying "This goes beyond Amona. In the near future, between the presidential election and Obama leaving office, the entire settlement project is in existential danger."

The prime minister's office denied the report, saying Netanyahu never made the comments attributed to him.
Obama and Netanyahu, who both took office in 2009, had had a notoriously difficult relationship, underscored by a series of incidents reflecting their strains.

The latest was Netanyahu's last-minute cancellation of a White House visit in March. The US president, who learned of the cancellation through the media, did not hide his annoyance.

Earlier this month Channel Two reported the apartheid "Israeli" regime is set to approve construction of nearly 300 new settlement units near the West Bank settlement of Shilo, situated between Nabulus and Ramallah, in an apparent compensation for a Supreme Court ruling ordering the eviction and demolition of the illegal settlement of Amona.
