Israel Matzav: Reid distancing himself from Obama on Israel?

Reid distancing himself from Obama on Israel?

Shavua tov - a good week to everyone.

The news is overwhelmingly about Iran this evening and with good reason. I am following events there closely.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) released a public letter to President Obama on Monday in which he attempted to focus on the 'Palestinians' for Middle East peace, and not on Israel's responsibility. Here's part of that letter:

Like you, I am deeply committed to bringing peace to this critical, but troubled, region. I believe negotiations will be successful only with a renewed commitment from the Palestinians to be a true partner in peace. Arab states in the region must also act to support the peace process. All parties must recognize Israel’s right to exist, end terrorism, and respect previous agreements made with Israel.
