  • President Obama in his address to a pro Israel lobby, clarified his stand that he would like to see a Palestine state emerge and Israel must honor the boundaries as they existed before the 1967 war, suggesting the Israel must give up the land it has obtained in and after the 1967 war. According to reports, President Obama while speaking before a conference of the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee offered familiar assurances that the United States’ commitment to Israel’s long-term security was “ironclad.” But citing the rising political upheaval near Israel’s borders, he presented his peace plan as the best chance Israel has to avoid growing isolation.”1 President Obama asked Israeli leadership to adopt a more flexible approach in negotiating and settling the Israel – Palestine conflict and help bring closure to the seemingly intractable conflict.2 On the other hand, the Palestinians seemed to find it difficult to accept Obama’s proposition to accept or recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland.3
