(IsraelNN.com) Global media report that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu "stood firm" against pressure from the Obama administration Monday on the issue of a "two-state solution" with the Palestinian Authority.
“The Israeli prime minister stood firm,” reported France24 after the talk between President Barack Obama and Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. “He said he is ready to negotiate with the Palestinians but only if they recognized Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.”
The combination of “Israel” and “stood firm” – an uncommon one in news reports from recent years – also appeared in a report by the London Telegraph. “Israel stood firm against demands from Barack Obama on Monday to cease the construction of Jewish settlements and embrace the ‘two-state solution’ to achieving peace in the Middle East,” the newspaper said. It added that Netanyahu “made it clear that while he welcomed Mr. Obama's commitment to the region, he was more concerned about dealing with the threat of Iran than peace talks.”
