Envoy tells 'Washington Post' US came to Israel with number of suggestions that might enable gov't to pass a limited extension.

Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren reportedly said the US offered Israel "incentives" geared toward encouraging Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu's cabinet to extend the recently expired settlement freeze.

In an interview with The Washington Post published on Wednesday, Oren said that the US "administration has come back to Israel with a number of suggestions - incentives if you would - that would enable the government to maybe pass a limited extension of 2 or 3 months."

I am afraid Bibi is going to tell Israel the American's made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

But the freeze and any extension of the freeze tells us all we need to know about Bibi, he does not believe that keeping Judea and Samaria is important to keep.
