Reuters - WASHINGTON, May 20 - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday he was prepared to make compromises to peace but he rejected President Barack Obama's proposal that Israel return to its 1967 borders.
Obama and Netanyahu met at the White House a day after the U.S. president endorsed a longstanding Palestinian demand on the borders for their future state.
In remarks to reporters in the Oval Office, Obama said he had reiterated the principles he had laid out on Thursday.
Both men acknowledged differences between their positions.
Blog author's comments - Barack Hussein Obama told Israel to move back to the 1967 borders. Basically, he wants to give the Hamas-Fatah terror alliance half of Jerusalem.
You mean the Israelis aren’t prepared to commit mass suicide to make Obama happy? The current occupant of the White House/Oval office is a total disgrace.
The Republican Party can learn a lot from Netanyahu. The Israeli Prime Minister sat down with Obama and with respect told him no, what you want is not going to happen. We need a Netanyahu in the Republican Party.
