Barak in Washington: “Working to Resume Negotiations”

Barak made this statement in Washington, in response to Saeb Erekat’s claims that he tried to arrange meetings with Jerusalem, but was politely declined. In conversations with his American counterpart the Defense Minister added that "we must recruit President Obama and the United States to make efforts to start the talks.”
A senior White House official confirmed this morning (Monday) that the meeting between Obama and Netanyahu will take place tonight, and is likely to engage in an effort to restart the hesitant peace process in the Middle East. It was also reported that the two will discuss the stalled negotiations between Iran and the West regarding Tehran's nuclear program.
Netanyahu's office responded dismissively to reports of tension between Jerusalem and the White House. However, until the last moment an explicit and formal answer was not received last night from the White House about a meeting between Netanyahu and Obama. As a result, the Israeli delegation expressed disappointment in the American treatment.
