Clintion: movement toward a Palestinian state is "inescapeable" the
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised Tuesday to work with the incoming Israeli government, but delivered a clear message that could put her at odds with the country's next leader: Movement toward the establishment of a Palestinian state is "inescapable."
Clinton also said the U.S. would soon send two envoys to Syria. It was the most significant sign yet that the Obama administration is ready to mend relations with the Damascus regime. The U.S. withdrew its ambassador in 2005, accusing Syria of supporting terrorism.Clinton signaled that an open quarrel with Israel was unlikely, stressing the close relationship between the two countries and saying Israel must ultimately decide what is in its best interests.
"We happen to believe that moving toward the two-state solution, step by step, is in Israel's best interests. But obviously it's up to the people and the government of Israel to decide how to define your interests," she said.
This article is rather interesting, considering that it seems to contridict itself if you read all three pages. I am confused is Iran a terriost place or not. Why is it inescapable to do business with a place that has posed threats to the U.S and has nuclear weapons. Barak Obama even raised an eyebrow at this decision as stated in the article this decsion does not necessariy follow what Obama is trying to do.
