After years of blocking U.N. efforts to pressure Israelis and Palestinians into accepting a lasting two-state solution, the United States is edging closer toward supporting a U.N. Security Council resolution that would call for the resumption of political talks to conclude a final peace settlement, according to Western diplomats.

The move follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decisive re-election Tuesday after the incumbent publicly abandoned his commitment to negotiate a Palestinian state — the basis of more than 20 years of U.S. diplomatic efforts — and promised to continue the construction of settlements on occupied territory. The development also reflects deepening pessimism over the prospect of U.S.-brokered negotiations delivering peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

Shortly before this week’s election, the United States informed its diplomatic partners that it would hold off any moves in the U.N. Security Council designed to put Israel on the spot at the United Nations in the event that Netanyahu’s challenger, Isaac Herzog, won the election. But U.S. officials signaled a willingness to consider a U.N. resolution in the event that Netanyahu was re-elected and formed a coalition government opposed to peace talks. The United States has not yet circulated a draft, but diplomats say Washington has set some red lines and is unwilling to agree to set a fixed deadline for political talks to conclude.

If they sell to Jews they had better be quick on their feet, because both Hamas and Fatah are going to murderous lengths to prevent this as well as keeping their other hostages from emigrating. A West Bank or Gaza Strip without human shields is not going to last long.

If BHO does this to one of our strongest allies, how will England, Germany, France, and a few other allies ever trust this POTUS ever again. As a matter of fact, what Democrat can ever be trusted to stand by our foreign friends now or in the future the same goes for Republicans....this outrageous ploy must be stopped before it can happen.

Call your Reps now and demand this petulant president be stopped from doing this....John Kerry should call in sick.........Hey Barry, Bibi won...get over it!
