Obama on brink of deal for Middle East Peace Talks

Excellent news....and just think, we're working with the UN. WTF?? This makes me so happy. Tremendous progress. And now we have allies, as well. This is exactly the right direction. Just imagine this headline a year ago.....

Barack Obama is close to brokering an Israeli-Palestinian deal that will allow him to announce a resumption of the long-stalled Middle East peace talks before the end of next month, according to US, Israeli, Palestinian and European officials.

Key to bringing Israel on board is a promise by the US to adopt a much tougher line with Iran over its alleged nuclear weapons programme. The US, along with Britain and France, is planning to push the United Nations security council to expand sanctions to include Iran's oil and gas industry, a move that could cripple its economy.

Its kind of assumptive to assume that a 'real' peace deal will be signed within the next 2 years. Its good both sides are at the table but it will take years before anything resembling a two state solution is fully consummated.
