Barack Obama Will Call On Israel To Withdraw To The 1967 Borders ~ Pray BiBi Is Strong Against Obama!
Israeli media reveals U.S. president's forthcoming Mideast speech
JERUSALEM, May 17
U.S. President Barack Obama will call on Israel to withdraw to the 1967 borders and agree to additional concessions that will enable a resumption of the peace process, Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth revealed on Tuesday.
The newspaper claimed to have obtained a draft of Obama’s planned speech at the State Department on Thursday in which he will outline his administration’s Middle East policy, in light of the anti-government protests that have swept the region over the past year.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Sunday that Obama would raise the need for progress in the peace process. However, he did not reveal whether the president planned to present a diplomatic initiative to revive the process, after negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians broke down last September.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth, Obama will call on Israel to withdraw to the 1967 cease-fire lines with territorial adjustments that will be agreed on in the negotiations with the Palestinian National Authority. The president will label the West Bank settlements as “illegal” and emphasize that Israel must halt their construction.
Obama’s position on the settlement blocs, which Israel slates to remain under its sovereignty in any peace deal, is yet unclear.
The president is also expected to announce his solution regarding the status of Jerusalem and call for its division. The U. S. envisions the city as the shared capital of the two states, Israel and Palestine, side by side in peace.
Such a stand would essentially echo the so-called “Clinton Parameters” offered by then-president Bill Clinton in 2000, which called predominantly Arab neighborhoods to come under the Palestinian sovereignty while Jewish neighborhoods remaining within the Israeli territories.
Yedioth Ahronoth claimed that the contents of Obama's speech were shared with Netanyahu's national security advisor Ya'akov Amidror and his predecessor Uzi Arad in their recent discussions with senior U.S. officials.
Regarding Jerusalem, Netanyahu said the city would remain Israel's "united capital," a position echoed by all Israeli governments since 1967.
The prime minister added that Israel would not be able to strike a peace agreement with a Palestinian government if half of it was comprised of the members of Islamist group Hamas.

BiBi should tell obama to go BACK to Hell.
BiBi and Israel we are praying for you!
I wish the Mossad would go after George Soros for what he did and Obama for what he wants to do.

BiBi best tell Obama to go pound salt. If Israel give into this, the next call out will be for them to withdraw to their 1945 borders....NONE...no existence as a nation.

The Commiecerat turned Dhimmicrat appeasers sicken me. Israel pulled out of Gaza and got rocket attacks for its effort.
Frankly, the Wall that Israel built to protect its settlements from further Palestini-goon attack should be the new border. De facto it already is.
