Likud MK Danny Danon on Thursday said that “Barack Hussein Obama adopted the staged plan for Israel’s destruction of Yasser Arafat, and he is trying to force it on our prime minister,” referring to the US president’s Middle East speech in which he called for the creation of a Palestinian State on the 1967 lines with agreed upon land swaps. “All that was new in the speech was that he called for Israel to return to 1967 borders without solving the crisis. Netanyahu has only one option: To tell Obama forget about it,” Danon stated.
