Israel's response to Obama's speech
Tue, 06/16/2009 - 23:42 — Gihane AskarIsrael Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently gave a speech endorsing a two-state solution by creating a Palestinian state. However, the offer comes with a lot of conditions: demilitarizing Palestine, Jerusalem would be under the full control of Israel, and Palestinian refugees would not be allowed to come back to Israel. He also did not mention the issue of Jewish settlements, which Obama had specifically addressed in his speech in Cairo.
