Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might endorse the creation of a Palestinian state during his upcoming visit to Washington, according to the country’s defense minister Ehud Barak.
Speaking on Channel 2 TV on Saturday, the minister said that he believes that an agreement with the Palestinians is possible within three years. Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama’s meeting is scheduled for Monday.
The news comes after Russia convened a meeting of the UN Security Council at the beginning of the week to urge Tel Aviv to restart the peace process.
Foreign Minister Lavrov also announced that Moscow was ready to host a Middle East peace conference later in the year.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon added his weight to the proceedings, saying the time was right for Israel to fundamentally change its policies.

I am not surprise that PM Netanyahu is once again{possible}endorsing the creation of a Palestinian State in about three years,which gives them enough time to USURP the remaining land,needed for the creation of such state.This is a good ploy like many of the past,that gives Obama credibility for his{CHANGE}Slogans,and the USURPER and Brutal so called state of israel the needed time,to finish the job,of getting ready of the Palestinians,and have this Tyrannic leadership a{greater bigger and strategic} BASE,for continuing EXPANSSION of the ZIONNATO IMPERIAL and FASCIST ALLIANCE, that seeks to take over the entire World and hold all Humanity as their Slaves.Of course I don,t believe they will succeed, since the Leadership of this Brutal and Imperial Alliance are formed by a bunch of PRIMITIVES,who,s actions prove them to be very low class individuals.This Primitives don,t realize that Nations with good people,elect good Leaders that have the necessary experience, and know ledge needed to face any any challenges throw at them,with successful results. As in the past,the Oppression of the Palestinians and the PLUNDER of their land will continue after sixty one years,but we must hope some day,their land will be returned and their Oppressors removed and send back to were they come from.
It would be wise for Israel to define the parameters of a Palestinian state while it still can as Palestinian or Muslim population demographics outnumber Jewish about 10-1 and as Olmert pointed out Israel will will have a hostile Muslim majority and Jewish minority and in the mean time counter terrorism operations is likely to be harder and more bloody. The ironic thing is that Neoconservatives in the US most of them Jewish pushed for the Iraq war that shifted the balance of power in the region and promotion of democracy in the Mid East that will likely harm Israeli interests in the future.
