Invitation to the Israeli leader is Obama spot - New York Times

Discuss White House officials have for three months, whether Mr Obama turbulence, including the upheaval in the Arab world, make a major address on the region the time has come, and whether he should use the opportunity, propose a new plan for peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

An administration official said this course was Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the President himself, but by Dennis B. Ross, senior advisor to the President to the Middle East.

Because the Administration has brooding, Mr Netanyahu, was been scary, that his country floor plan would lose administration with no Obama, has consideration, whether in the White House with a proposal of his own, before a friendly Congress, prejudice, according to American officials and diplomats from the region.

"People seem to think that if you go first gets the upper hand," said Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator and Director at the new America Foundation. Mr Netanyahu nickname, he said: "If Bibi went first and layout, would a bold peace plan to put it more difficult for Obama actually despite what you said Congress and their applause, that is what I think you should do."

The political diversion between the two men demonstrates how the calculation has changed East in the Middle for a variety of reasons, including the political unrest in the Arab world. But it shows the lack of trust and personal animosity of Mr Obama and Mr Netanyahu is what some officials say.

White House officials to draft a possible proposal which work, but they not decided how detailed it will be or even whether the President will deliver it in a planned speech. If Mr Obama submit to an American plan, officials say it could have four principles or negotiators have cursed mandate, to the final status issues, the peace since 1979.

The terms of reference might call for Israel, to accept a Palestinian State on the basis of the 1967 borders. You would have to accept Palestinians, that they end up not the right to return to Israel would get, from which they fled or were forced to flee. Jerusalem would be the capital of both States, and Israeli security would need to be protected.

Mr Netanyahu has made it clear that he wants to Israel's security before any deal needs dealt with peace with the Palestinians. He has worried more about security, because layers in power among the Arab States have weakened in recent months Israel's already fragile relations with its neighbours, in particular Egypt.

The fighting between the Obama administration and the Israeli Government reached a peak last week when Mrs. Clinton, in Washington for a meeting of the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, announced that Mr Obama "more detail would talk East and North Africa about America's policy in the middle in the coming weeks."

Their announcement electrified Israeli officials who got with American officials and journalists quickly on the phone whether Mr Obama had decided to put on the table an American plan. He had not such a decision, and White House officials pointed out that the internal debate was still going on.

But two days later, the House speaker, John A. Boehner of Ohio, his intention announced, Mr Netanyahu, invite, to address a joint session of Congress. "America and Israel are the closest friends and allies, and we are looking forward to the Prime Minister's views on how we can continue working together for peace, freedom and stability," Mr. Boehner said in a press release.

Like many other foreign leaders, Mr Netanyahu spoke in Congress. He did so in 1996, and four other Israeli Prime Ministers have in the past 35 years. The platform is American elected leaders the possibility of public support for Israel for the politically crucial Israel lobby to demonstrate.

Mr Netanyahu will address the planned meeting of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, probably the most powerful of the American groups together, which advocate for Israel.

Brendan buck, Mr Boehner spokesman, said that staff had received no pushback from the White House about the invitation to Mr Netanyahu. "Of course, it's a troubled time for the region," he said. "Our members were very interested to demonstrate that we are with Israel."

In November last year, representative Eric Cantor, Republican of Virginia, said Mr Netanyahu, that would the new GOP majority in the House "review of the Administration, in a statement serve", put the rare his blunt disagreement on American foreign policy as a leading provider of foreign.

Mr. Cantor put out a statement after a meeting with Mr Netanyahu said that he "clearly, that the Republican majority understands the special relationship between Israel and the United States and the security of every nation of the other independent is made."

Brian Katulis, a national security expert with the Center for American progress, a liberal research organization, said that Republicans were trying "Israel a partisan wedge issue."

"And that's bad for Israel, and that's bad for the United States", said Mr Katulis. But he added that the Administration would never publicly or privately, against the idea of one Israeli leader addressing Congress.

Two American officials, on condition of anonymity by diplomatic caution, speaking, said they thought that if Mr Netanyahu, a bold proposal for peace with the Palestinians should deal, he would do before his own people in the Knesset.

"Instead of concentration on the establishment of peace, everyone seems speech-making, in the Centre of the stand", said Martin S. Indyk, Vice President for foreign policy at the Brookings Institution and a former US Ambassador to Israel. "And unless that talk that generate peace negotiations, so that no peace talk generated."

The debate is in a pending deadline by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in September, when the Assembly is expected to Palestinian statehood in a vote on the whole, support that deeply embarrassing could prove for Israel and the United States planned, both are expected to vote against it.
