JERUSALEM – The Obama administration pledged to the Palestinian Authority it will secure an extension of a freeze on Jewish construction in the West Bank and a de facto freeze in eastern Jerusalem, a top PA leader told WND.
Under intense U.S. pressure, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November announced a 10-month halt to all Jewish construction in the West Bank in an attempt to jumpstart talks aimed at creating a PA-led state. Netanyahu had publicly claimed the settlement moratorium was temporary and that new construction would resume after the freeze expires in September.
The Obama administration is also demanding a total halt to all Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem as a precondition to jumpstart talks. Netanyahu has refused an official freeze, but almost no new Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem has been approved since last month.
A top PA leader told WND in a phone interview today that Obama administration officials told him they are confident Netanyahu will extend the construction freeze to the West Bank as well as the de facto freeze in eastern Jerusalem beyond the agreed-upon time limits.

Bibi is no fool. He’s not going to endanger his relationship with an entire country just to spite some guy who’s going to be out of a job in three years.
Zero has a strange blind ambition to destroy Israel.
Obongo—Better Fess up now!
Arizona wants your Birth Certificate!
Do not go past go!
This is unbelievable, but SOOOOOOOOOooo predictible!
Don’t you know, Obama believes he is the reincarnation of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
My, My another mindless decision made on his part. He will regret it if he rejects Christ in favor of the grand poopa.
Nethanyahu already did. No freeze or halts to construction.
A subsequently leaked memo shows the Obozo administration has no backup plan in place after the “tell the Israelis not to build” plan.
Somebody may want to tell Obama that Bibi, just this afternoon, said no settlement freeze . . .
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday that Israel does not intend to comply with the American demand that it halt settlement construction in East Jerusalem.
“I am saying one thing. There will be no freeze in Jerusalem,” Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 2 television. “There should be no preconditions to talks,” he added, referring to the Palestinian demand that Israel end all settlement construction before they would be willing to resume peace negotiations.

Sheesh! Who knew?
Someting tells me that the Mossad is about to save us from a rather large carbon foot print.
Obama says he sees Jesus as a historical figure but must never have known He was a Jewish carpenter.
“The Obama administration is also demanding a total halt to all Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem as a precondition to jumpstart talks. Netanyahu has refused an official freeze, “
Mark Levin made an interesting comment the other day. He wondered what Hillary/Obama would say if some Mexican authority told us to stop all building in Texas, California, Arizona etc. since Mexico believes all that still belongs to them (according to Mexicans).
Then he said, no...better not give them any ideas.
If Obama truly believes that Jewish construction of the West Bank is that wrong, where the hell is his outrage at all the illegal ‘colonia’s’ being constructed just inside our Southern border with Mexico???

Hold On Bebe!!!!! November is coming here and hopefully things in Washington will begin to change!!!!
Wonder how the Jihadis will react when they find out Obama promises things he can’t deliver?
let’s hope so ...
Yes, the idea that a foreign country would tell us not to build any more housing in Texas, because the Mexicans have a “legitimate claim” to the land, is the height of absurdity.
