White House Denies Draft of Obama Speech Was Leaked
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - The White House on Tuesday denied as "completely false" a report by Yediot Ahronot on Tuesday that a draft of President Obama's Middle East speech, calling on Israel to return to the 1967 lines, had been shown to Israeli officials. Washington sources are anticipating that Obama will strike a nonconfrontational tone with Israel in his Middle East speech on Thursday, as well as in his meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu. There was little expectation that Obama would venture into great detail of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, much less address the controversial final-status issues.
