White House: Obama, Netanyahu to meet July 6 Chief of staff Emanuel tells ABC US president clear about need 'to seize this moment of opportunity' to make peace -- President Barack Obama's latest White House meeting with Israel's prime minister is set for July 6 - more than a month after their last one was scuttled at the last minute. Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu had planned talks on June 1. But that fell apart after Israel's deadly raid May 31 on a flotilla hoping to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza. The raid has strained US-Israeli relations, and the White House has announced a $400 million aid package for Gaza and the West Bank. Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, told ABC television's "This Week" that Obama has been clear about the need "to seize this moment of opportunity" to make peace - addressing Israeli security and Palestinians' hopes for their own state.

http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=178934 Barak Off To US For Iran Talks 06/20/2010 02:27 American, Israeli warships reportedly cross Suez. Just days after issuing an ultimatum to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu regarding the Labor Party’s continued membership in the government, Defense Minister Ehud Barak traveled to the United States late Saturday night for talks with senior administration officials aimed at promoting the Palestinian peace process and cracking down on Iran. In the meantime, an Arabic newspaper in London, Al-Quds al-Arabi, reported Saturday that 12 American warships and at least one Israeli corvette crossed through the Suez Canal on Friday. According to the report, thousands of Egyptian soldiers were deployed along the canal to protect the vessels. Both the purpose of the crossing and the significance of Israel’s participation were unclear.According to the report, traffic in the canal was halted for several hours to allow US Navy vessels to pass from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. Barak will meet with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen, as well as with senior lawmakers on Capitol Hill. He will also travel to New York for talks with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, which will mostly focus on the recent flotilla incident as well as Israeli policy vis-a-vis the Gaza Strip. Barak’s trip comes at a tense time for Israel as it prepares to intercept two more flotillas on their way to the Gaza Strip. Two Iranian ships are expected to try and break the Israelimposed sea blockade on Gaza later this week, and the navy is also concerned that another flotilla from Lebanon will try to sail to Gaza.Both are considered particularly contentious due to their points of origin, countries with which Israel is currently in a state of conflict. See: T A L K B A C K S...... 3. U.S.Plays chess for Jerusalem Author: Laurette Country: Canada 06/20/2010 04:26 Very significant. U.S. warships? No floatilla yet! Meeting with Barak and the pitbull crew and Obamination in Washington. What a squeeze. Can't you hear the wolves howling, "It's like this Israel, you are in major doodoo from all sides, we have the power to help you but you must play ball and hand over the goods, first and foremost Jerusalem.Of course the U.S. stirred this whole thing up in the first place and remained silent long enough, did not condemn the Muslim extremists, and said nothing in Israels favor.The G-d of Israel is watching.He will be the only one to call checkmate-in His time. 2. To Chams (#1) Author: flyingdoc57 Country: U.S.A. 06/20/2010 03:53 Now, Chams, "put yourself for 1 minute" in the shoes of someone not living in a third world theocracy, like Iran, which shelters its citizens from the truth. Israel has NEVER made any threats on Iran, other than defensively. A-Jad, on the other hand, has been promoting and promising the annihilation of "the zionist entity" for years. Gazans are not in a "modern day Auschwitz". They, in fact, live in better conditions than most of their brethren throughout the Arab/Muslim world (including Iran). Were it not for their rule by Hamas, a terrorist organization, they would flourish. Wise up, sir. 1. Iran needs defense Author: Chams Country: Isfahan,Iran 06/20/2010 03:02 Now put yourself for 1 minute in the shoes of an Iranian citizen in teheran. they hear the hostile threats by israel. They see what happens to palestinians and how Israel has put all gazans together in a modern day Auschwitz. then they see the piracy and the killing of innocent peace activists. they know they face a ruthless killer, wanting further landgrab. What would you want your governement to do ? Right, defend me. So we in Iran need S300 quickly and also nukes or we will be nuked away by irsael. Or all all the threats just empty? My family fear now warships coming towards us. http://www.jpost.com/LandedPages/ReadAllTalkbacks.aspx?id=178934 For more: click above link Edited by Silver, Jun 20 2010, 03:55 PM.
