Netanyahu may stop building in West Bank
Karachi News.Net
Monday 23rd November, 2009
Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is hoping to relaunch stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks by convincing his cabinet to freeze West Bank settlement construction for ten months.
Israeli officials in Jerusalem have said the move would not halt construction in East Jerusalem but would commit to some limitations and restrictions on settlement building.
The Palestinian Authority, which has refused to engage in peace talks until Israel stops its building push, has not yet responded, but it is believed the Obama administration has been updated on the plans.
The United States has been demanding a settlement freeze for over twelve months.
But the US may not agree to the Israeli position on the exclusion from the freeze of East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians had hoped to make the capital of a future state  Email this story to a friend

Netanyahu may call a halt to settlements
He was ordered by Obama but will lose his job for failing to keep his promise to Israelis.

Obama may beg ,plead,or even threaten Israel but in the end they will not agree to anything that leaves them at the mercy of the nations that desire to destroy them.Israel will defend it’s self.
