According to Netanyahu, Israel was ready to continue the freeze on settlements

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday, January 3 that the waiver by the United States to their demand for a freeze on settlements in the Palestinian territories resulted from their own analysis and not an Israeli blockade. "The truth is that we were ready, but contrary to what was reported, Israel has not refused to extend the moratorium, said Mr.

Netanyahu was quoted by Israeli media (see articles by Haaretz and Yediot Aharonot ) before a parliamentary committee. Ultimately, the United States has decided not to go that route, rightly in my opinion. " "I told Obama that I was ready to submit it to the government and its enforcement, but I received a surprise phone call telling me the Americans they claimed that Israel continues the freeze" he said.

The United States has recognized 7 December the failure of their efforts to convince Israel to declare a moratorium on new settlement, demanded by the Palestinians to resume peace negotiations. The spokesman for the State Department, Philip Crowley, explained that Washington had come to the conclusion that the moratorium called for by President Barack Obama into the solemn chamber of the UN in September, "did not create a database farm work to our common goal of reaching a framework agreement "for Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Mr. Netanyahu had reluctantly accepted a plan by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to establish a three-month moratorium on colonization. But he demanded written guarantees on the compensatory measures offered by Washington and both parties have failed to agree on the wording. Clinton then announced a new approach consisting of a return to indirect talks under U.S.

mediation, on the substantive issues of a peace agreement. But this proposal was ignored. The Palestinians, backed by the Arab League, have served on December 15 in the United States that a resumption of negotiations was excluded without stopping settlement, and ordered Washington to present a "serious offer".
