The US president is proposing to hand control of the Middle East peace process to the international community unless there is a breakthrough in the next few months, Israeli officials have said.
Mr Obama has formulated a secret plan with leading European allies to convene an international peace conference by the end of the year, according to Israel's Haaretz newspaper.
The move would fulfil one of Israel's deepest fears by effectively stripping the Jewish state of its power to dictate the course of talks.
The conference would attempt to end decades of Israeli-Palestinian conflict by pressing both sides to accept difficult compromises on issues ranging from the future of millions of Palestinian refugees to the status of Jerusalem.
Mr Obama is also eager to gain international recognition for the creation of a Palestinian state.
Officials in the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, have voiced their dismay in recent weeks over reports that Mr Obama was planning an effective takeover of negotiations by imposing his own peace deal on the two sides.
Such a step, they said, would undermine indirect peace talks, brokered by the US, that could begin as early as next month.
Mr Obama has strenuously denied considering such an idea, but observers have said it is likely the US president would have developed it as a contingency plan.
The questions begs to be asked.
ReplyDeleteWho's the most dangerous person to world peace today?
A: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
B: Barack Obama
This Administration continues to try desperately to convince the American people that our government is NOT controlled by IsRael.
ReplyDeleteJust take a look at Obama's Cabinet including the leader Rahm Immanuel.
Next consider the continuation of and even acceleration of the destruction of Muslim property and lives under Obama. He is no friend to Islam that's for sure. Then realize the complete LACK of criticism for the IsRaeli war crimes against its neighbors since Obama's election.
Obama is controlled by the same Zionist Agenda as was Dubya'. Our country is under the thumb of the Zionists and our Zionist owned media will continue to lie to us about the war crimes committed by both Countries.
well, since the status quo hasn't worked for any of the parties involved for so long, why not try something new?
ReplyDeleteIsrael is a racist violent country who has held a stranglehold over America for far too long.
