JERUSALEM -- Israel insisted Thursday it would keep building homes in disputed east Jerusalem, threatening to hold up a U.S.-proposed settlement construction moratorium designed to renew deadlocked Mideast peacemaking.
The contours of the moratorium deal, as presented by Israeli officials after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned from the U.S. last week, had appeared to be clearly agreed upon.
Washington, they said, had agreed to exclude the eastern sector of the holy city from the 90-day moratorium and there would be no further demands for construction curbs in the West Bank when the latest moratorium expired.
On Thursday, however, a day after Netanyahu said a deal was imminent, the U.S. still had not sent a promised letter detailing the understandings on the proposed moratorium.
In Washington, a senior Obama administration official said the U.S. and Israel were still "haggling" over details of the written assurances. The official said most of the unresolved issues were relatively routine but added that it was unlikely that the letter would be finished Thursday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the matter, said it was not clear when the letter might be completed.
In a speech Thursday, Netanyahu suggested agreement was neither imminent nor inevitable.
He said he has been holding intensive contacts with the Obama administration since his meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton a week ago.

Obozo will give more money to Hezbollah in retaliation.
Yes, he did. Here is the agreement, apparently signed as well:
Yeah, but other than that, he's a really nice guy!
Bibi shows Zero the backdoor.
You really don't want to be doing that. (Larry Sinclair)
I knew in my heart Bibi would tell barry to go eff himself!
Bibi has Obama's number

I love the granny glasses. That’s when he means business.
Hey Zero. Read this.
Zechariah 12: 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
This thing will continue to go around and around , until Israel releases Jerusalem. no deal will be made until every jew on the face of the earth is killed. the palestinian charter will not go for anything else the problem the world has failed to understand is that Israel was promised to them by god himself and it’s not going to change. the Obama goonies need to learn this. MAY THE LORD FOREVER BLESS THE STATE OF iSRAEL

It’s about time to stop pretending.
Charisma can’t hide the ugly truth.
We all had high hopes for Natanyhu, particularly that the second time around he would show more backbone then on his first try when he capitulated at every turn.
Obama is a foe of Israel, he is destoying the Israeli/American relationship and siding with Israel’s enemies at every turn. He is laying a fatal trap for Israel.
We don’t know the immense pressure that Natanyhu is under, it may be such that it would break any man/woman.
But the sad fact is that Natanyhu is playing stooge to Obama and conceding everything even where he pretends not to.
From two very knowledgeable writers. If you’re concerned about Israel and the Israeli American relationship- read it and weep.

You actually sound quite out of your mind. True enough, Horowitz and Glick are no dummies. But Bibi has been down this road before - he got defrauded by a very, very vile enemy before (Clinton), and there’s no reason to think he will be fooled again. In fact, your post reveals very little factual knowledge of what is going on. And you are new.
You wouldn’t actively be planting hysteria, would you?
Lets see if I understand your comment.
Horowitz and Glick are no dummies, yet if I agree with their point of view it revels I have very little knowledge.
FYI, I likely know more about Israel then you will know in ten lifetimes— even though I’m NEW here.
You say there is no reason to believe that Netanyah will bend over again- even as every news item shows he is desperately selling this Obama trap to a skeptical cabinet.
See:
“”I have no doubt that my fellow ministers will accept [the freeze and incentives package],” Netanyahu said during a speech at the Israel Institute of Technology-Technion in Haifa.”

Netanyah= Netanyahu -obviously
Don’t panic ;).
Very few things are as they seem.
any writer who can speak lovingly about the clintoon rabin relationship cannot be taken seriously. And what do you base your assessment that Bibi has capitulated on? To the contrary, Bibi has, for the most part, stood strong against the arabist state dept and the fleeting demands of the Ozero admin.
