Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's seven-member inner cabinet discussed Saturday an offer by the United States to reinstate a freeze on West Bank Settlement construction in return for a package of incentives. (AP Photo/Mary Altaffer)Netanyahu presented Saturday the U.S. offer, which was discussed by Netanyahu and U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Thursday, to the forum of seven.
According to the offer Israel would stop construction in the West Bank for 90 days. The freeze includes construction that began after the end of the first settlement moratorium on September 26.
The moratorium would not apply to construction in East Jerusalem. The U.S. will not ask Israel to extend the new moratorium when it expires.
Saeb Erekat, the Palestinian negotiator, said the Americans had not officially informed the Palestinians about the details of the proposal, "but they know we have a major problem in not including east Jerusalem".
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will put the U.S. plan before Palestinian decision-makers and call for an immediate session of Arab League officials before announcing an official decision, Erekat said.
In return for an Israeli freeze, the U.S. government would deliver 20 F-35 fighter jets to Israel, a deal worth $3 billion. Moreover, if an Israeli-Palestinian agreement is achieved, the U.S. would sign a comprehensive security agreement with Israel. The U.S. and Israel are to discuss the nature of the new security arrangements in the next few weeks.
According to "The Cable" blog, White House Middle East adviser Dan Shapiro told a group of American Jewish leaders on Friday that U.S. was committed to fighting delegitimization of Israel, and listed recent efforts to advocate on behalf of Israel.
Such efforts included: curbing actions by the United Nations on the Goldstone Report; blocking anti-Israel UN resolutions concerning the Gaza flotilla raid; defeating international resolutions aimed at exposing Israel's nuclear program at the International Atomic Energy Agency; and strengthening pressure on Iran and Syria in regards to their nuclear and proliferation activities.
U.S.-sponsored direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority broke down on September 26 when a 10-month Israeli freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank expired. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has said he would not restart negotiations with Israel while settlement construction continues.

90 days? That's all? How about forever? Israel will take both the planes and the land.

However, it's all a cunning plan to distract the world from yet another dump on the Palestinians.
Here's the deal:
Step 1) Israel halts illegal settlement building for a whopping 90 days;
Step 2) America delivers 20 F-35 fighter jets worth $3 billion to Israel;
Step 3) Israel restarts illegal settlement building.
What a crock. :evil:

And the cunning plan "kinda lingers" with us all - to use the immortal Not The Nine O'Clock News interpretation of those evocative words.

Sorry for the little diversion people but I want to ask this question.
How do you post a youtube video and have a word that can be used to post the video link?What I'm referring to is like how David used "kinda lingers",and Jan used "cunning plan" in the above threads.Thanks

I just bring up the You Tube video in a separate window or tab and copy the url then paste it in the forum reply then I'd do the same for the lyrics.

Yes,that's how I do it now,but I don't want to paste the url.I want to use a word to go to the url.I've also seen people paste the whole youtube screen onto a post.That would even be better.

Hi Keith - only just learnt this myself, so this is my very basic understanding.
The aim is to replace a boring url (hyperlink) with something more interesting.
So:
i) type in the more interesting phrase;
ii) highlight the phrase (eg cunning plan);
iii) hit the "Insert Link" icon in the toolbar which opens when you're composing a reply (beneath the smiley);
iv) type in the hyperlink from another browser window into the "Insert Link" box.
v) the link should now be hidden beneath the more interesting highlighted phrase.
NB there may be an existing http:// in the "Insert Link" box, so make sure the link you're posting only has a single http://
