Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can feel satisfied while flying to
Washington Thursday night. U.S. President Barack Obama has granted
Netanyahu a major diplomatic victory.
In return for his call for the establishment
of a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps,
without defining the size of these lands, Obama accepted Netanyahu's
demands for strict security arrangements and a gradual, continuous
withdrawal from the West Bank.
He suggested beginning negotiations on borders and security
arrangements, and delaying discussions on the core issues such as
Jerusalem and refugees.
