Israelis say "NO" to Obama - What Next?
Marshall, Rachelle
Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, August 2009, v28, #6, pp7-10
"President Barack Obama has signaled that U.S. Middle East policy will no longer consist of endorsing any and all actions of the Israeli government while at the same time ignoring the concerns of its neighbors and the suffering of the Palestinian people. From now on, he has indicated, America's policies in that part of the world will be aimed at resolving conflicts peacefully rather than appeasing the Israelis and the pro-Israel lobby." This article focuses on the refusal of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to approve the concept of a Palestinian state and a settlement freeze proposed by U.S. President Barack Obama.
