Instead, he said, this is the Palestinians that if they were, they could be greater.
Netanyahu at the talks, he entered the White House, asked why Obama is not the same pressure, because it is Israel, Palestinians, and asked where the "equivalence" of. Netanyahu, according to senior officials said that although the United States when he was held responsible for the 1600 construction unitolybdenum, Interior Minister Eli Yishai, not Abbas is not responsible for many years, the Palestinian Authority - Square recently presided over the naming of Ramallah, the horrors of the Holocaust for the road along the coast.
