Obama: US Won’t be Able to Defend Israel if Peace Talks Fail
Ahead of the meeting with PM Netanyahu, president says unprecedented ‘aggressive settlement construction’ is detrimental to the peace process.

Won’t be able to or simply refuse to? The PM is getting his arm twisted behind his back by the playground bully! Never mind the alliance we have with you, Israel, the US has changed their minds. You play our way or it’s the isolation highway.
Israel can expect to face international isolation and possible sanctions from countries and companies across the world if Benjamin Netanyahu fails to endorse a framework agreement with the Palestinians, US President Barack Obama cautioned on Sunday ahead of a meeting with the Israeli prime minister.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Obama stressed that time was running out for Israel to achieve a peace deal, and added that he believed Netanyahu had the capacity to rally Israel’s citizens behind an agreement.
The president went on to stress that he would convey to Netanyahu, in the spirit of the Jewish sage Hillel the Elder, that the prime minister could lead Israel toward peace if he chose to do so.
“If not now, when? And if not you, Mr. Prime Minister, then who?” Obama said.
Oh, sure, way to go and kudos to the back-stabbing obama. What finesse. Can you imagine obama on a bomb squad with his ultra-delicate manner?
Are you prepared?
