US President Barack Obama gave an interview with Israeli media on Tuesday, in which he threatened that an Israeli refusal to renew peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) will "make it hard" for the US to veto motions in the UN against Israel.
In an interview with Ilana Dayan for Channel 2's "Uvda" (Fact) TV show aired Tuesday night, Obama commented on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's statements before elections in which he said that a Palestinian state won't be founded on his watch.
Obama noted that later Netanyahu distanced from the statement and "suggested that there is the possibility of a Palestinian state. But it has so many caveats, so many conditions, that it is not realistic to think that those conditions would be met anytime in the near future."
Those conditions have included the recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and demilitarization, conditions that proved problematic in the last round of peace talks that Obama pushed into existence in late 2013.
The president continued, "and so the danger here, is that
Israel as a whole loses credibility. Already the international community does not believe that Israel is serious about a two states solution...the statement the Prime Minister made compounded that...belief that there's not a commitment there."

The president continued, and so the danger here, is that Israel as a whole loses credibility. Already the international community does not believe that Israel is serious about a two states solution the statement the Prime Minister made compounded that belief that there's not a commitment there.Meanwhile, not a single syllable about the fact that Abbas made the (Greater) Palestinian vision of a one-state solution (no state of Israel, a Caliphate province from the river to the sea) official Palestinian Authority policy a short while ago. All one-sided Satanic lies out of his mouth.
“The president continued, and so the danger here, is that Israel as a whole loses credibility.”
The likelihood of Israel ever losing it’s credibility is as likely as a camel fitting through the eye of a needle.
