U.S. Senators Press Obama on "Risk" for Israel
[AFP] 76 U.S. senators on Tuesday wrote to President Obama, saying: "As we work closely with our democratic ally, Israel, we must take into account the risks it will face in any peace agreement." "We must also continue to insist on the absolute Palestinian commitment to ending terrorist violence and to building the institutions necessary for a viable Palestinian state living side-by-side, in peace with the Jewish state of Israel," they said. The senators also urged Obama to "promote far greater involvement and participation by the Arab states both in moving toward normal ties with Israel and in encouraging moderate Palestinian elements."
