Arab MK Ahmad Tibi says Obama’s arrival address was “a Zionist speech.” He doesn’t mean it as a compliment.
“There’s no symmetry” in America’s relations with Israel and the Palestinians, he notes.
Tibi also protests the presence in the Israeli coalition of a party — Jewish Home — “with a veto” over any progress toward Palestinian statehood.
But the root of the problem, Tibi says, is Netanyahu — “a principled right-winger,” who will never say the words “a sovereign Palestinian state.”
Tibi says Abbas will “absolutely” seek a settlement freeze when he meets Obama tomorrow.
