Israeli prime minister Netanyahu's effort to backtrack from comments about about a two state solution and the Obama White House's response in March 2015
02/25/2015
The Obama White House says following the election victory of Netanyahu that the White House is free to support a two state resolution at the UN. The U.S. Congress has voted unanimously for a two state solution giving the White House support for its new position. To get his own right wing supporters to the polls Netanyahu said before the election that he did not support a Palestinian state. In a speech in 2009 at Bar Ilan University Netanyahu had supported a two state solution. The sudden surge for Netanyahu days prior to the vote is attributed to this move. Netanyahu tried to retract his statement as expected in an interview with Andrea Mitchell of NBC News, saying that under the current conditions with terrorism in the Middle East and failure of the Palestinian Authority to abandon its alliance with Hamas no peace was possible making a two state solution inachievable, but he still supported the idea in the right conditions. Netanyahu also had made comments that Israeli Arabs were "voting in droves" which were seen inside Israel and in the U.S. and Arab world as racist baiting. Netanyahu told Mitchell that Israeli Arabs voting was "sacrosanct" and that he was only trying to get his own supporters to vote. Suggestive of the rifts created in the election most interviews were given selectively to Israeli television stations. Netanyahu is now broadening his reach by talking to NBC, MSNBC, and Fox News of the U.S., but no response is given to NYT requests so far. Some experts see the rift between Netanyahu and Obama as irreparable, and now carried to a new level, as the comments seen as racist baiting on Israeli Arabs were discussed in a phone conversation between the two leaders.

With Saudi Arabia's effort to lower oil prices causing more damage to the Iranian economy and difficult negotiations with Iran continuing on preventing the development of nuclear weapnons, president Obama seeks more time for negotiations. Israeli prime minister Netanyahu is pushing for more sanctions on Iran, which could derail the negotiations. Netanyahu accepted an invitation from Republican Speaker Boehner to address Congress in 2015, creating a divide between Congress and the U.S. president on policy towards Iran.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
