White House Transcript of Talks between President Obama and Israeli PM Netanyahu: The import line out of the Oval is the following “ As I just indicated, peace cannot be imposed on the parties. It’s going to have to be negotiated. One side’s actions in the United Nations will achieve neither statehood nor self-determination for the Palestinians. ” In other words VETO of Palestinian State. Out of the Israel the important line is, “ But you've also made it clear that the Palestinians deserve a state, but it’s a state that has to make that peace with Israel. And, therefore, their attempt to shortcut this process, not negotiate a peace -- that attempt to get membership -- state membership in the United Nations will not succeed. I think the Palestinians want to achieve a state through the international community, but they’re not prepared yet to give peace to Israel in return. … ”. In effect Obama wants the issue to go far far away, after losing the safe Democratic House Seat in New York the Oval can not afford to lose the Jewish base of the Democratic Party. Thus POTUS is returning to the usual support of Israel at what ever the cost, Israel could attack Iran tomorrow, and the Oval would be having a Party at the White House for the air crew, Obama in re-election terms is in that kind of hole folks. Politics is politics at the end of the day.
