Obama says Netanyahu ‘skeptical’ about possibility of peace

Obama says Prime Minister Netanyahu is, in his opinion, skeptical about the odds of Israelis and Palestinians signing a peace deal:

“I think it’s always difficult to put yourself in somebody else’s shoes…. Netanayhu loves Israel deeply and cares about the security of Israel deeply and recognizes the history of hostility and anti-Semitism,” Obama says.

“I think he has been skeptical about the capacity” of Israelis and Palestinians to make peace.

“And of course, he’s also a politician,” says Obama, and must retain his coalition.
