Obama granted Netanyahu a major diplomatic victory
After Obama accepted Netanyahu's demands, the PM now cannot be
apathetic to the U.S. president's proposal for 1967 borders.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can feel satisfied while flying to
Washington Thursday night. U.S. President Barack Obama has granted
Netanyahu a major diplomatic victory.
In return for his call for the establishment of a Palestinian state
based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps, without defining the
size of these lands, Obama accepted Netanyahu's demands for strict
security arrangements and a gradual, continuous withdrawal from the
West Bank.
He suggested beginning negotiations on borders and security
arrangements, and delaying discussions on the core issues such as
Jerusalem and refugees.
More importantly, Obama scornfully rejected the Palestinian initiative
to attain recognition at the United Nations and to isolate Israel,
demanded the Palestinians return to negotiations, and called on Hamas
to recognize Israel's right to exist. These points came straight out
of the policy pages of the Prime Minister's Bureau in Jerusalem.
Netanyahu could not have asked for more: Obama outright rejects
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' recognition campaign, as well as
the Palestinian reconciliation agreement.
It seems that the new Fatah-Hamas unity has saved Netanyahu from a
much more aggressive and binding speech on the part of Obama.
Obama could have also delivered his Mideast speech during the
impending AIPAC conference, which he will attend this coming Sunday.
His approach to Israel was empathetic, not only with his reassurance
of the U.S. commitment to Israel's security but also with his attempt
"to save Israel from itself." Obama warned us that if we perpetuated
the occupation, we shall crash due to our demographic inferiority, new
military technology, and most importantly, due to the anger of the
masses who are slowly gaining power in the surrounding countries. In
order to retain the vision of a Jewish and democratic state, Israel
must end the occupation and withdraw from the West Bank.
The points of the speech were surely pleasing to Netanyahu's ears.
Obama promised he won't force a deal on Israel and the Palestinians
and demanded both sides to return to negotiations. He did not condemn,
as he did before, the Israeli settlements in the territories as
"illegitimate" and did not demand a settlement freeze. He only
reminded, in a critical tone, that Israel continues building
settlements, as an explanation for the deadlock in peace talks.
Netanyahu will have to reply to Obama by accepting the principle of
"1967 borders with agreed land swaps." He made a step toward that
direction in his speech in the Knesset this week, when he talked about
preserving settlement blocs, which is the same thing in Israeli
wording. On the eve of his U.S. trip, Netanyahu's advisers hinted that
he will accept this principle on Friday during his close-room meeting
with Obama, while presenting a less binding policy during his U.S.
Congress speech on Tuesday in fear of causing the breakup of the
coalition.
Netanyahu essentially has no choice: after Obama accepted his
procedural and security demands, he cannot remain apathetic to the
U.S. president's suggestion regarding borders. But Netanyahu has
nothing to worry about – there is no chance the Palestinian leadership
will agree to return to negotiations under these principles.

 Obama granted Netanyahu a major diplomatic victory
così grande che Bibi ci ha messo 5 minuti a mandarlo affanculo.


per quale ragione ritieni che Netanyahu debba andare d'accordo con
Aluf Benn?


ritengo che Aluf Benn dovrebbe prendere atto della realtà. Se la
reazione di Bibi alla vittoria diplomatica è sfanculare chi l'ha
dichiarato vincitore, lo deve considerare n el suo commento.....

 ritengo che Aluf Benn dovrebbe prendere atto della realtà.
e' un po' la caratteristica del suo quotidiano, quella di essere fuori
dalla realta'
