http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/198362In a recent editorial the left wing Haaretz newspaper has come out strongly in favor of the new freeze on Jewish construction in Judea and Samaria proposed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. In an editorial entitled “Where will Palestine be?” the paper writes:
“The decision required from Netanyahu is clear: Accept the U.S. proposal, freeze settlement construction immediately, and determine the border on the basis of the new security understandings with the United States - even if such a decision requires a different coalition, such as one that includes Kadima and in which opposition leader Tzipi Livni takes Lieberman's place.”
“Instead of being enticed by futile games in the U.S. political arena, Netanyahu must demonstrate leadership and say yes, loudly and clearly, to U.S. President Barack Obama. Any other decision he might make will damage Israel and undermine the slim chance that remains for an agreement with the Palestinians.”
