Binyamin Netanyahu may yield to two-state solution after pressure from Obama

Times Online ^

[Scythian]

Binyamin Netanyahu is expected to endorse a “two-state solution” in a much-heralded speech this weekend, but he may stall on American demands to freeze Jewish settlements in the West Bank.

Feeling the squeeze between the US Administration, which wants a moratorium on settlement growth and a commitment to a Palestinian state, and his national-religious coalition, which favours neither, the Israeli Prime Minister appears likely to try to steer a middle course.

Israeli newspapers were full of speculation about what Mr Netanyahu — who has so far refused openly to back a Palestinian state alongside Israel — might offer to deflect pressure from Washington. Ehud Barak, his Defence Minister, urged him this week to recognise a Palestinian state, but members of Mr Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party have cautioned him against the move.

Read the Old Testament and decide for yourself. I would say yes he is.

"The headline was enough for me. If there is more to it and it is hype so be it. I hope you are right.

Pardon me, I mean no offense, but with your screen name, cub reporter, shouldn'y you be really, really jaded, skeptica, digging for facts, and all that?

;>)

I hope that Israel survives Obama.M

stay well and keep your pencils sharp

[BARLF]

said he may yield.

"May" not will.

Me thinks this is BS...the Wussy backing Bibi in the corner....right

[pillut48]

Wasn’t that under Jimmah Cahrter’s watch?!

[ScottinVA]

Bibi!! NO!! Stand strong against 0bama.

[pillut48]

The Lord hasn't shown himself in a while.

Au contraire, mon ami! The Lord shows Himself EVERY DAY. I see Him every time I look in the faces of my miracle children. :*)

[Jolla]

I have read the old Testament, that is why I ask, I did not recall a two state solution being against His will.

[pillut48]

You an Obamavoter talking about HolyO? Because you aren’t describing Bibi, that’s for sure! ;-)

[tobyhill]

You're right, Bibi won't be backed in a corner but he will make Obama think he is. Bibi will make an offer to the Palestinians he knows they won't accept and when Obama also rejects it, everyone will then know who the real Obama is, an Israeli hating Muslim.

My BS meter on this is off the charts. Looks like propaganda to make the Kenyan Marxist look like a success instead of the failure that he really is.

You need to read it again , then. God repeatedly promised the land in that area to Abraham and his decendants and HE also told Abraham that the son Abraham and Sarah had was to be his heir. Even the harlot Rahab understood that.

[deannadurbin]

I agree. Bibi doesn’t respect Obama, but he will have to listen to people in his own country first, and there will be financial pressure brought to bear against Israel from certain politicians in America if the Israelis back off on the stupid “Palestinian State”.

[deannadurbin]

And don’t forget, though we admire Bibi, he doesn’t have the same Messiah that we do (well, he actually DOES, but doesn’t recognize it). Jesus is not his Messiah. He’s still waiting for his Messiah.

[grumpygresh]

Bibi has got to hold firm. He stands alone for western civilization like Winston Churchill did against the barbarians.

[Jolla]

I did understand from my readings that he had promised them that land, I was not aware he said no one else could have it, thank you for the clarification.
