Louis Farrakhan questioned whether the Clinton administration’s Middle East policy is clouded by Jews who advise the president. Speaking at a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, the Nation of Islam leader said “every Jewish person that is around the president is a dual citizen of Israel and the United States of America.” He mentioned by name National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and outgoing presidential adviser Rahm Emanuel, none of whom are citizens of Israel.
