Because Obama told him to? Is that so hard to understand?

He's so predictable! It's never his fault because 'if only blablablabla. I just wonder if the Pal/Arab leaders are so clever or their 'citizens so utterly stupid that after all these years they still believe in the same BS stories while they can observe their leaders swimming in wealth while they are drowning in shit.

"...adding that Israel was now trying to back out of the release of the fourth and final group of Palestinian terrorists." That's where you lost me. The vast majority of Palestinians in Israeli jails have never been charged with a violent act. Many more Palestinians have been killed then Israelis in this so-called "conflict." I suppose you are prepared to called the IDF soldiers who have killed thousands of unarmed Palestinians - including the equivalent of one child every 3 days for the past 10 years - "terrorists." More likely you'll blame those deaths on Hamas, even when they occur in the West Bank, or when it's a question of isolated fishermen, farmers, schoolchildren or the odd judge who's only crime is to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. As a journalist, it would be appreciated if you backed up your "terrorist" slur with some numbers on how many of those prisoners were even accused of violent attacks on civilians for political purposes (which is what I understand as "terrorism"), let alone tried and convicted.

Your head is so firmly in the sand. You are twisting facts to suit your agenda. Go read history books, google information about the conflict here & make sure you read from a reliable website. Until you understand the situation here, keep quiet as you are making a complete fool of yourself.
