Obama, support Abbas' UN Resolution,
no matter what Netanyahu says – Haaretz editorial 09.04.16
’A veto of the latest resolution, which does not include a single clause that contradicts US policy, would constitute a diplomatic and moral renunciation of the peace process. It would give Israel permission to continue its settlement policy and would heighten the Palestinians’ frustration and despair, which feed the terror attacks.’

Is Obama planning his revenge on Netanyahu?
