Obama ‘dishonest’ broker in Israeli-Palestinian conflict: Journalist
US President Barack Obama is a “dishonest” broker in the conflict between Palestinians and Israel and has continuously supported the Zionist regime at the United Nations, says a journalist in Birmingham, UK.
“In every occasion where the Israelis commit the crimes against the Palestinians, it is Obama and the United Nations who actually support the Israelis and give them cover in the international community,” Sammi Ibrahem told Press TV on Wednesday.
Despite Obama’s periodic criticism of Israeli policies against the Palestinians, he has emphasized that Washington will always support Israel, said Ibrahem, an editor at SHOAH, a website advocating for the human rights of the Palestinians and challenging the policies of the illegal Zionist regime.
Ibrahem said Obama’s recent interview with Israeli television criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stance against the Palestinians was not sincere and will not end the human rights violations of Palestinians by Tel Aviv.
In an interview with Israel’s Channel Two television broadcast on Tuesday, Obama said Israel is losing “credibility” among the international community over Netanyahu’s opposition to the creation of a Palestinian state.
The US president acknowledged that a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians in unlikely in the near future due to Netanyahu’s policies.
"I don't see the likelihood of a framework agreement," Obama said, adding that Netanyahu's position "has so many caveats, so many conditions that it is not realistic to think that those conditions would be met at any time in the near future.”
"So the danger is that Israel as a whole loses credibility. Already, the international community does not believe that Israel is serious about a two-state solution," Obama said.
On the eve of his March 17 election to a fourth term, Netanyahu said there would be no Palestinian state if he was reelected as prime minister.
Netanyahu has attempted to back-pedal from those remarks but his peace overtures have met with skepticism from Obama and Western diplomats, as well as the Palestinians.
