re: #197 lawhawk
On the PA-Israeli conflict, Obama rehashed the same position taken since the GWHB days - the final status to be negotiated between the parties on borders to be decided by them. In other words, that’s the same language used under Oslo.
Not really new or different from other iterations on the ME policy.
Of course, this was also just a relatively minor part of the speech probably included mostly because it really isn’t possible to avoid commenting on it in a major ME speech.
