Netanyahu: Diplomatic Coordination with Washington "Excellent"
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Israel-U.S. cooperation over the past four months has been better than at any other time since President Obama came into office in January 2009, Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Sunday. He said diplomatic coordination with Washington has "been excellent" in the run-up to the PA's UN moves. The Palestinians were surprised by the level of opposition they had come up against from the U.S. to their UN gambit, the prime minister said. Netanyahu told the cabinet Sunday: "The UN is not a place where Israel wins praise, but I think that it is important that I go there in order to represent both the State of Israel and the truth - and the truth is that Israel wants peace, and the truth is that the Palestinians are doing everything to torpedo direct peace negotiations."
