Obama says Netanyahu’s actions show he does not support 2 state solution
President Barack Obama says that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions do not show that he believes in a two state solution.
“The settlement issue has become a barrier to a two state solution. Bibi says he approves a two state solution but his actions have shown that if he is pressured to do something (else), he will do so,” Obama says.
Obama notes that there has been an increase of settlements from 300 to 400,000 settlers in the last years. “That was not compelled by Israel’s security,” he says in an interview Channel 2 TV.
