U.S. could yield on settlement freeze, says
government source Barak Ravid - Haaretz - Netanyahu
government officials claim that the Americans might agree that existing
construction projects be completed since "the government has no legal
power to stop them, once contracts were already signed". Meanwhile,
despite Lieberman`s efforts the upgrading of Israel`s relations with the
EU remains deadlocked. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1093219.html
Obama sees `positive movement` in Netanyahu
speech - but reminds that settlements are illegal Paula
Wolfson - Associated Press/Voice of America - In the first personal
reaction to Netanyhau`s speech, President Obama welcomed the PM`s
willingness to accept a Palestinian state - but stated that Netanyhau`s
numerous conditions be discussed in negotiations rather than be
preconditions to talks. And Obama stated that "In past agreements,
settlements have been categorized as illegal" - a term which had been
avoided by several of Obama`s predecessors who preferred much milder terms
such as "settlements are unhelpful" and the like. [Ed.].
