Senior Palestinian Authority officials told WND the Obama administration offered their group guarantees that the U.S. would pressure Israel over a Palestinian state in exchange for the PA’s withdrawal of support for immediate U.N. action over an investigation claiming Israel committed war crimes.
The PA officials,speaking on condition of anonymity,told WND the guarantees include pressing Israel to agree to a two-year timetable to negotiate a Palestinian state set along the pre-1967 lines – meaning a state in the Gaza Strip,West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem.
The officials said the Obama administration hopes to set the timetable publicly before March. They said Obama’s Mideast envoy,George Mitchell,presented the timetable to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in meetings here the past few days.
The PA officials said Mitchell specifically told the Palestinians the Obama administration will push for a state including much of eastern Jerusalem.
Our country has been trying to negotiate this 'peace'for how many years now? And while it may be a very noble cause IMO it's about time we recognize the extreme probability that peace is more than likely never going to happen in this particular little slice of the world. It's very sad but sometimes you just have to accept that no matter how hard you try you are just not going to 'reap the rewards'of your efforts.
I believe that anyone who thinks that Israel shoulde move back to pre 1967 positions,should immediately turn their home and property over to the American Indians. It is impossible for two states to exist peacefully in tiny Israel. The Palestinians are Arabs. Why can't the Arab countries make room for them. No,the Palestinians want Israel and all the wonderful technology that the Israelis have created. Obama will sell Israel out,guanteed. but Iran needs to know that if they Bomb Israel,they will kill most of the Palestinians as well.
