The day before BB met Obama the President gave a interview stating that if negotiations with Abbas break down it isn’t Abbas’s fault its Israels fault. Abbas has not negotiated in years, he is only interested in getting convicted murderers out of jail as a pre condition to coming to negotiate. So far Israel release over 100 terrorist murderers and got not one sit down with Abbas.
Peace ain’t going to happen. Former Israeli PM Olmert gave an offer of 97% of the west bank to Abbas, and half of Jerusalem and Abbas turned it down.
So Obama threatened BB with the prospect that the USA would not veto UN voting sanctions against Israel.
Last week Kerry said that “declaring a Jewish State of Isreal” is not important in negotiations with Abbas.
Kerry why was Israel founded, and if you ask Holocaust survivors, Jews expelled from Arab lands, and former Soviet Jews if the fact that Israel is the last refuge for Jews who are victims of Antisemitism they will tell you the Jewish nature of Israel saved their lives.
-——Peace ain’t going to happen.-——
Actually, a sate of peace exists now. Hamas fires some rockets that do no harm and are in effect pretending to be belligerent.
Both sides are satisfied with the status quo. That equals a state of non war and that is by definition peace.
