Netanyahu to Obama: No way

From Jihad Watch:

Netanyahu to Obama: No way

Bravo. "Israel Expects Obama to Take Back ‘1967 Lines’ Demand," by Gil Ronen for Israel National News, May 19:
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was quick on the draw Thursday in voicing clear displeasure with President Barack Obama’s mideast policy speech. “Israel appreciates President Obama’s commitment to peace,” the response began, curtly. “Israel believes that for peace to endure between Israelis and Palestinians, the viability of a Palestinian state cannot come at the expense of the viability of the one and only Jewish state.”
“That is why Prime Minister Netanyahu expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of U.S. commitments made to Israel in 2004, which were overwhelmingly supported by both Houses of Congress.”
“Among other things,” Netanyahu reminded Obama, “those commitments relate to Israel not having to withdraw to the 1967 lines which are both indefensible and which would leave major Israeli population centers in Judea and Samaria beyond those lines.”...

The statement also notes that "Abbas seeks a Palestinian state in order to continue the conflict with Israel rather than end it.” Indeed.
