Obama: halt to new Israeli settlements is in America's security interests

Obama: halt to new Israeli settlements is in America's security interests | World news | The Guardian

Yesterday the Israeli government spokesman, Mark Regev, said Netanyahu will defy the White House call by continuing construction in existing settlements.


The Israeli government apparently think Obama is an instrument that can be played (read the various opinion articles in Ha'aretz).

Obama, meanwhile, knows 57% of Jewish Israelis want a two state solution.

And he has more cards than Netanyahu.
