US President tells meeting of Orthodox Jewish leadership that his support falls with Israel when it comes to peace.

WASHINGTON -- US President Barack Obama is worried that Palestinian leadership was no longer as interested in advancing toward peace, he said in a conversation with Orthodox Jewish leaders on Tuesday.

During the conversation, an Orthodox Union (OU) official asked Obama what lessons he had learned about promoting Israeli-Palestinian peace, considering how his first two years in office had been marked by tensions with Israel.

When it came to Israel, Obama asked the group not to doubt his "fidelity" to their cause.

Participants said that Obama rejected the notion that he was even-handed in his attempts to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks; he insisted that the US posture was pro-Israel, for instance, in his calls for making Israel's security needs paramount in any final status deal.

He said his calls to freeze settlement expansion reflected the same positions of his four predecessors, and blamed differences with Israel in part on the quirk of history of a centrist US government and a right-wing Israeli government coexisting.

Obama said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to act without restraints, but that he understood him -- most leaders want to act without restraints.

Obama worried PA not interested in peace

This only shows how amateurish and naive the kenyan's foreign policy is. The PA never has been, and probably never will be, interested in peace, only the destruction of Israel.

The PA was never interested in peace.
The Israeli official offered everything they were asking for back during Bubba Clinton’s term in office and Arafat stood up and walked away from the table.
