| Netanyahu makes himself clear: No basis for new talks |
| 2011-05-20 |
| The president sat with his body tensed, one hand gripping the side of his chair, the other clutching his chin, like a stoic enduring punishment. The most powerful politician in the world was being lectured by the Israeli prime minister in his own home, his own office. Barack Obama's officials looked slightly sick as Benjamin Netanyahu quietly and deliberately unleashed a tour de force against the leader of the country that is Israel's best friend in the world. He set out with utmost clarity his objections to the president's plans for peace and the obstacles to any deal. Mr Obama hadn't even repeated, in front of the assembled media, his subtle shift of policy, in which he called on Thursday for a future Palestinian state to be based on the borders of 1967, before the Six Day War. He was bland, assuring friendship. |
