Israel appreciates President Obama’s commitment to peace. Israel believes that for peace to endure between Israelis and Palestinians, the viability of a Palestinian state cannot come at the expense of the viability of the one and only Jewish state.
That is why Prime Minister Netanyahu expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of U.S. commitments made to Israel in 2004, which were overwhelmingly supported by both Houses of Congress.
Among other things, those commitments relate to Israel not having to withdraw to the 1967 lines which are both indefensible and which would leave major Israeli population centers in Judea and Samaria beyond those lines.
Those commitments also ensure Israel’s well-being as a Jewish state by making clear that Palestinian refugees will settle in a future Palestinian state rather than in Israel.
Without a solution to the Palestinian refugee problem outside the borders of Israel, no territorial concession will bring peace.
Equally, the Palestinians, and not just the United States, must recognize Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people, and any peace agreement with them must end all claims against Israel.
Prime Minister Netanyahu will make clear that the defense of Israel requires an Israeli military presence along the Jordan River.
Prime Minister Netanyahu will also express his disappointment over the Palestinian Authority’s decision to embrace Hamas, a terror organization committed to Israel’s destruction, as well as over Mahmoud Abbas’s recently expressed views which grossly distort history and make clear that Abbas seeks a Palestinian state in order to continue the conflict with Israel rather than end it.

Israel would lose high ground, religious sites, Old Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall, water control, the Mount of Olives cemetery........and so on.
Yep. Good one. Thanks
Maybe Gov. Palin shared her struggles with Barry and how to tweak him whilst dining with the prime minister.
I want to see Sarah P’s response!
She already has, in Israel, about two months ago...
“She didn't go into diplomatic issues, but I can clearly say from the questions she asked in relation to our conflict here with the Muslims in these holy sites that she knows that we are right and that the Muslims are just claiming things for provocation and they are not right,” Danon said.

Our current Muslium President is merely following the lead of his mentors in the M.E.

Suddenly all this Rapture talk doesn’t seem so far-fetched.
Sure better than the last 2 PM’s they had who kept giving away land, for promises that they knew would not be kept.
I’d be pounding my shoe on the desk and declaring 0 wants to destroy Israel. Which we know he does.
