US asks Israel for 90-day settlement building moratorium
PM discusses possibility of halting building with septet; in exchange, US would support Israel in the UN and give 20 fighter jets.
The US asked Israel to freeze all new settlement construction begun after September 26th for a 90-day period in exchange for support in the United Nations and 20 additional advanced fighter planes worth $3 billion, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
The principles of this agreement designed to restart peace talks with the Palestinians, were relayed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to his inner cabinet, a forum of seven ministers, on Saturday night and will be explained to the full cabinet on Sunday.
The US said that if the deal was accepted it would not request an additional settlement freeze. The request does not include east Jerusalem.
How can Israel trust a man who makes threats against Israel, then asks them to take concrete actions, on the undertaking that he will support Israel at the UN.
This man will go back on his word, using any excuse that he can find. His word is worth nothing as
1. His commitment is to Islam
2. He is not a man of honour.
