Obama still looking for 'total settlement freeze'
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Meanwhile, Haaretz has learned that even though U.S. President Barack Obama is satisfied at this stage with a temporary settlement freeze of 2-3 months, the U.S. government emphasized that it is not ready to relinquish the idea of a total settlement freeze.Does anyone really believe a promise from Obama that when two months are up they won't ask for another extension?
Moreover, the Obama administration also made it clear that its principled stance regarding the settlements will not change, and it is not ready to accept the renewal of settlement construction in the West Bank.

It seems that "settlement freeze" is his own political agenda, regardless talks, Abu Mazen and Arab League.
Hi Carl.
Arab foreign ministers are giving the United States one month to convince Israel to renew a freeze on settlement construction.........
"The German High command has given the Vichy goverment one month to round up all Jews and put them in the projected ghetto"
History repeats itself,don't make the same mistake twice.
Have a great week!
There is no chance Israel will accept it. And no one in Israel has much trust in an Obama promise.
A complete settlement freeze strikes at the very heart of Zionism. Which is why Obama and the Arabs are so adamant on it.
The only question left is whether Israel is willing to cooperate in its own national suicide.
