They are demanding that Jews not be allowed to build in East Jerusalem,” Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Israel Radio. “We cannot bar only Jews from building in a certain section of the city. Can you imagine if they told Jews in New York they could not build or buy in Queens?”
Since Israel has annexed East Jerusalem, Israeli officials say, a request to scrap Jewish building projects there is both legally unfeasible and a betrayal of the mandate of the current government, elected on a platform of keeping Jerusalem united under Israeli sovereignty.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton asked Mr. Netanyahu in a telephone call last Friday to respond to a number of demands, but Israeli officials made clear Tuesday that there would be no quick reply.
But President Obama and his aides say that Mr. Netanyahu should have been in control of the construction process and should have done what was needed to stop it, according to officials in Jerusalem and Washington.
Israeli officials, however, say that the Obama administration misread the situation, and that stopping building in Jerusalem was never an option.
“We must tell the American government that there are things we can do and things we cannot do,” said Dore Gold, a former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, reflecting the government’s thinking. “Freezing building in East Jerusalem is one of those things we cannot do.”
Mr. Netanyahu has said Jerusalem’s future can be a topic of negotiation with the Palestinians, but the Israelis say that at no time did the government agree to modify its policy on Jerusalem as part of indirect talks. As Mr. Netanyahu said in Parliament on Monday, “No government of Israel for the last 40 years has agreed to place restrictions on building in Jerusalem.”
The current disagreement echoes one last year. The Obama administration demanded a complete settlement freeze in the West Bank, while the Israelis said it was impossible and was a betrayal of earlier agreements between Washington and Jerusalem.
Israeli officials also say that some Obama administration officials have been implying that Mr. Netanyahu had been acting in bad faith.
We need to stop playing global policeman and most importantly, stop pissing on Israel. They are our only ally in the Middle East and we need to be supporting them and the rights of their people.
The Palestineans are supported and financed by Iran, which in itself, should be reason enough to support them.
