Israel Comes Around to Two-State Solution
Gisela Dachs, Die Zeit | June 16, 2009
For the first time, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has mentioned the Palestinian state as a solution for the Middle East. ++ Some commentators have labelled this as "a great step for Netanyahu." ++ "He wants to appease Obama by joining his peace mission." ++ Although Netanyahu is prepared to accept the possibility of a two state solution, he has refused to back down on Israeli settlements.++ "The question remains if the Palestinians see his offer as sufficient, which seems very dubious regarding their first reactions."
