    The Israeli premier is largely expected to announce his new diplomatic initiative during a visit to the United States in May, in an address to the US Congress or at the annual meeting of the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC.

    Details of the plan are still sketchy but the idea is believed to involve the establishment of a Palestinian state within temporary borders, while providing guarantees about talks on final status issues, the Maariv newspaper said.

    With regard to Jewish settlements — the thorny issue which scuppered direct peace talks last September — Netanyahu’s plan would include a partial freeze on construction, but would permit building in the major settlement blocs as well as in occupied and annexed east Jerusalem, it said.

    It is way past time to get rid of Netanyahu. he is just one more anti-Torah, anti-Hashem, anti-Jewish Israeli politician with way too much power to damage the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
    Bottom line (actually the TOP line) everyone must serve someone or something. In the case of Israel and the Nations of the world, it is either Hashem or the Nations.
    More than the Jews need the Nations, the Nations NEED the Jews.
