Obama Restates Support for Palestinian State during Netanyahu Visit
Much controversey over "BiBi's" visit with Obama this week.
GUARDIAN UK -- Barack Obama reiterated US support for an independent Palestinian state, while Binyamin Netanyahu, said he was willing to restart peace talks. The Israeli prime minister declined to back a two-state solution but said Israel does not want to govern the Palestinian people. In remarks following the Oval Office meeting today, Obama also said he hoped to begin a new effort to engage Iran after the June presidential election there and said he hoped to have a sense of the progress by the end of the year.
