Israel's Netanyahu unveils U.S. plan for new talks
JERUSALEM |
JERUSALEM Nov 13 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed ministers a five-point U.S. peace plan that includes a 90-day settlement freeze, a diplomatic source said on Saturday.
The U.S. plan also includes a pledge not to seek any further extension to the freeze and calls for various U.S. security guarantees for after a peace deal is signed.
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, renewed under Washington's sponsorship on Sept. 2, broke down a few weeks later when Israel balked at renewing a settlement moratorium. (Writing by Allyn Fisher-Ilan; Editing by Louise Ireland)

The objective is to end the hostilities between Israel and the Palestinians. As an added bonus is the recognition of Israel by the Arab states.
I don’t understand why we have to buy Israel for something that is beneficial to them. Sounds like a black mail.

Or call it extortion. It doesn’t matter, since Israel will always line its pockets to the full extent it can. Israeli powers that be see this as advocacy for the State, be it for religious or materials reasons.
Until the U.S. taxpayers stand up and take notice, base on its huge debt or because they see its soldiers and citizens are less safe, due to Israeli oppression and occupation in Palestine, then good for Israel. Never give a sucker an even break–W.C. Fields
