WASHINGTON — The White House has concluded that an agreement with the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a fast-track program to establish a Palestinian state is unlikely to happen.
U.S. sources, including those close to the Obama administration, said such cooperation would be greater by an Israeli government led by the opposition Kadima Party, chaired by former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
"It may be that the Obama administration has concluded that they cannot achieve the two-state solution with the Netanyahu government and perhaps want another Israeli prime minister," Aaron Miller, a former State Department official and regarded as a consultant to the administration, told the Saudi-owned A-Sharq Al Awsat.

I can see no better way to get Israeli voters to support Netanyahu.
Turnabout is fair play as they say.
I find this an amazingly arrogant statement. What makes them think that this will work?
schu
Oops another zerosummy idea on the rocks.The Jerk has a knack for doing the exact opposite of what will work!! I wonder if the Loon Plays chess or poker LMAO.
Obama: “I don’t like this Prime Minister at all. Bring me another one post haste!”
God bless Israel. Just read they (US-Obama) are considering sending US military to Syria. Not to fight against them, but to scout out. We all see where this is going with Israel.
obama NO match for my Lord and Savior! Our Lord will prevail.
If ZERO tries to create friction in Bibi’s house by pimping Livni, it will backfire on him because BiBi will gladly replace Kadima with Avoda and Shas.
AMEN!!!
Can anyone here imagine if the Israeli government so nakedly expressed its discontent for any American adminstration, and so obviously was looking to replace it? There would be - and rightfully so - a firestorm of indignation and anger directed against Israel.
Further, as mentioned above, turnabout is fair play - meaning that such arrogant interference breeds a counter reaction, and from more than just the target. This will come back to hurt this country.
But the press and media here still have their heads so far up Fauxbama’s arse that they can’t see this.
When he starts sending in plane-loads of acorn volunteers you’ll really know the fix is in.
I never thought I would want a foreign leader to tell an American president to go f*ck himself...but never say never. I hate him.
Netanyahu should seriously consider 1) approaching the Chinese and seek a military pact, etc. and then 2) making a public announcement that Israel has reconsidered its alliance with the US and is nullifying it.
Why? The chicoms will just stab them in the back.
Then Israel can go at it alone, they are basically doing it now given the track/trending of this current administration.
Pimping would be a good job for Zero, don’t ya think?
I was listening to the Sean Hannity show this afternoon and Patrick Buchanan was a guest. Patrick Buchanan said that when Obama was in Israel, he walked in on a meeting that Netanyahu was having with Ehud Barak, and told them flat out that he (Obama) wanted a plan from Israel on establishing a Palestinian state, and he wanted the plan by July 1st. He also said that it was the policy of the United States that the Israeli settlements were illegitimate. This is just hearsay from Buchanan - but that’s what he told Hannity.
Buchanan probably likes Netanyahu as much as Obama does.
Right - he did seem sort of exultant.
Pat never met a Jew he liked.
