What did Netanyahu get from Obama? Action on Iran?


U.S. Sees Iran More Urgent than Palestinian State -Aluf Benn

Later this month, President Obama will take the podium at the UN General Assembly and declare the resumption of the Middle East peace process.

But by presenting a two-year timetable, Obama will make it clear that dealing with Iran is more urgent than establishing an independent Palestine alongside Israel.

Next year, 2010, will be the "year of Iran." In return for advancing action on Iran, Netanyahu agreed to freeze construction in the West Bank settlements for a period of nine months, according to leaks from his talks with U.S. envoy George Mitchell.
