US-Israel Summit today at the White House

A dog's face, without many concessions in an atmosphere of extreme seriousness, Obama, Barack Obama, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have appeared from the White House in a press conference that, although not marked advancement in the peace process between Palestinians and Israelis, it has served to show the "differences" between Israel and the U.S..

So what Obama himself has said after private meetings with Netanyahu a day after setting in the 1967 line for peace negotiations. And Israeli Prime Minister yesterday expressed its indiganción to the proposal. It is the first bilateral meeting between the two leaders in a year and Netanyahu's third visit to the White House since coming to power of Obama.

Before the appointment, the Middle East Quartet, EU, UN, Russia UU-YEE has expressed support for the offer of President "under the principle of land for." On this occasion, the meeting took place when Bush is immersed in a week devoted to Middle East policy, in light of the transition processes in Arab countries, and seeks to reinvigorate the peace process Israelis and Palestinians, which he considers "more urgent than ever" to the protests in the region.

Obama qualified that this line could suffer "mutually acceptable exchanges." In a speech at the State Department on Thursday, Obama called the Palestinian state to emerge in the future must be based on the 1967 borders before the Six Day War in which Israel took control of the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza, West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.

Before leaving for Washington, where he will participate in the annual conference of AIPAC, the main pro-Israel lobby in the U.S., and deliver a speech before the U.S. Congress, Netanyahu said Obama's proposal is "unworkable." In his speech, Obama also warned the Palestinians against the planned vote in favor of a Palestinian state at the UN this September, which considered to be only "symbolic" and will not serve to establish an independent country that people are looking for.

Obama also is scheduled to deliver a speech on Sunday at the AIPAC conference, the first act in that forum as U.S. president.
