Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had assured the United States in 2008, before his election, his ability to achieve peace with the Palestinians, according to a document found by Wikileaks, published Friday by the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot. "I shall succeed to mobilize two thirds of the right in any agreement" in peace, had told U.S.
Ambassador James B. Cunningham the leader of Likud, three months before the elections he must win, according to diplomatic telegram from the embassy in Tel Aviv, dated November 24. "If Obama wants to work with me, we will be able to advance in a real" peace process, Netanyahu had said, stressing that "it was able to compromise and achieve results." At the same time, he promised that if he carried the election "he would form a government of national unity, which does not happen in practice.
A year later, the United States were no longer under no illusions about the peace process, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to another document Wikileaks published in December 2010. Mr. Netanyahu said Thursday evening the members of his party he would not compromise Israel's security when he spoke in May before the U.S.
Congress in Washington. Direct peace talks between Israel and Palestinians have been stalled since September 2010, following the expiration of a ten-month freeze of Israeli settlement in the West Bank. The absence of any prospect of peace on the Palestinian track has led to increasing isolation of Israel on the international diplomatic stage.
