Negotiations..some tough walls to climb.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he is ready to resume peace talks with the Palestinians immediately, but any agreement is contingent on their acceptance of Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. His comments came after a meeting with US President Barack Obama, who bluntly told the Israeli leader it was time to get back to the negotiating table. Netanyahu and President Barack Obama met for more than two hours at the White House and focused on Mideast peace talks, Iran's nuclear program and the U.S.-Israeli relationship. Obama said he expects a positive response from his diplomatic outreach to Iran on stopping its nuclear program by the end of the year. The president said the United States wanted to bring Iran into the world community, but declared "we're not going to have talks forever." At the same time, Obama said bluntly that it was important that Netanyahu, a hard-liner on peace negotiations with the Palestinians, to restart the stalled Mideast peace talks. While his language was gentle, Obama's words were notable nonetheless for being made in public. The White House said Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on May 26 and President Mahmoud Abbas on May 28.

ニュースアニメ「イスラエル首相、エジプト大統領、パレスチナ自治政府議長が相次ぎ、米大統領と会談」
オバマ米大統領は18日、ホワイトハウスでイスラエルのネタニヤフ首相と会談した。イスラエルは先日、パレスチナ自治区ヨルダン川西岸への新入植地建設を決定したばかり。­オバマ大統領は入植地建設を直ちに中止するよう求めているが、ネタニヤフ首相はヨルダン川西岸でユダヤ人居住地区が自然に拡大することを容認したい意向にあり、両首脳の立­場の違いが浮き彫りになっている。オバマ大統領はパレスチナ国家の樹立による二国家共存案を支持しているが、ネタニヤフ首相はイスラエルが国土安全保障の必要性を理由に支­持していない。首相は会談後の記者会見でパレスチナ人の統治を求めないと明言する一方、「仮にイスラエルの治安に関する条件が満たされ、イスラエルの(国家としての)合法­性が認知されるなら、パレスチナ人とイスラエル人が尊厳と安全、和平のなかで共存するための協定を想定できるようになるだろう」と語った。二国家共存案について質問される­と、首相は「その言葉を実質的に理解しているなら慎重に扱うべきだ」とコメントした。大統領は会談終了後、記者団に対して、「首相には問題を動かす歴史的な機会だと申し上­げた。交渉参加国は過去に合意したことを順守する義務がある」と述べ、首相にイスラエルとパレスチナの「2国家共存案」を受け入れるよう強く求めた。オバマ大統領とネタニ­ヤフ首相の会談は就任後初めて。会談は2時間以上続き、首脳同士の個別会合に続き、全体会合が行われた。大統領は26日にエジプトのムバラク大統領、28日にパレスチナ自­治政府のアッバス議長と会談する。
