Instead of nitpicking on a freeze in Israeli settlements, U.S. President Barack Obama has called for the resumption of negotiations for the final resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, the U.S. President during his meeting in New York with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said: “Simply put, it is past time to talk about starting negotiations. It is time to move forward... Permanent status negotiations must begin and begin soon ”.

The daily quoting a source from the U.S. administration said “during the tripartite meeting Mr. Obama strongly expressed his impatience ”. “We’ve had enough talks. We need to end this conflict. There is a window of opportunity but it might shut.”
