The telephone call was part of regular consultations between the two leaders, the White House said, but came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited the region to try to help restart talks that stalled in 2010.
“The President encouraged Prime Minister Netanyahu to continue to work with Secretary Kerry to resume negotiations with the Palestinians as soon as possible,” the White House said, noting the leaders also talked about security issues in Egypt, Iran and Syria.
Peace talk? Hah! Obama, clean your house first before you go around telling other people about their house.
Your country is going to up in flames with riots and vandalism, partially due to your inane comments.
So if you’re going to point fingers, Mr. President, point it to yourself.
When is he going to ask the palestinians to get back to the negotiating table/
Is it up to Netanyahu? He’s been begging the Palestinians to come to the table but they insist on preconditions
He is always willing to talk peace, as long as he doesn’t need to hand over hundreds of convicted terrorists first.
How about Obama hands over all the people in Gitmo first to show Netanyahu how it is done?
America and the world in going up in smoke and this is what he’s worried about
Failed leaders always need to focus things away from themselves. Can he be this deluded?…..I guess so.
obama you never waste a crisis but a lot of crises are of your own doing. The IRS,
Benghazi, the Zimmerman case, the problems of not getting legislation through
because you are too arrogant to negotiate with Republicans. Get off Israel’s back;
if you had a brain in your head you would know Israel does not have a peace partner. Go argue with Putin to get Snowden back; lets see your smarts there.
