JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's defense minister says he believes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will endorse the creation of a Palestinian state during his upcoming visit to Washington.

Netanyahu has been reluctant to back a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian crisis despite pressure from the United States.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak says he believes Netanyahu will back the two-state plan when he meets with President Barack Obama on Monday.

Barak told Channel 2 TV on Saturday that he believes an agreement with the Palestinians is possible within three years. Netanyahu is scheduled to leave for the U.S. later Saturday.

4. There are stories out there that claim exactly the opposite.

Netanyahu won't back Palestinian state on US trip: MP

This is a right wing source. So which source is correct?

5. Lets hope the right wing source is wrong...

The Israeli right wing makes me want to vomit as bad as our right wing does...Two peas in pod!!!

You know our Christian Crazies (Good chunk of the Republican Party) collect money at churches here in the states and send it to Israel to their Jewish Crazies to help promote and build new settlements...Our Christian Crazies want Israeli Jewish Crazies to rebuild the Temple. It has to do with bringing on the Apocalypse & the return of the Christian demi-god Jesus.

Hell, if the Israelis knock down the Dome of the Rock and rebuild the Temple it would literally bring on a war that would resemble the Apocalypse. Of course, there would be no returning of the demi-god Jesus but the Christian Crazies do not know any better. It is kinda scary!

...Lets hope Obama will serve Netanyahu some of his best Kool-Aid!!
