WASHINGTON – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's associates were satisfied by US President Barack Obama's clarifications during his address to pro-Israel lobby AIPAC in Washington, Sunday.
Netanyahu and his aides reportedly watched Obama's AIPAC speech at Blair House – the president's official guest house.
One of the associates told Ynet that the speech was "befitting," and that they were particularly pleased with Obama's clarifications about considering the 1967 borders as the basis for peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, but not necessarily as the final ones.
Obama's statements regarding the release of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit and the need of Hamas to abandon terror and recognize Israel also went over well.
"I share the President's wish to promote peace and I appreciate his past and present efforts to achieve this goal. I am determined to work with President Obama in order to find ways to resume the peace negotiations. Peace is a vital necessity for us all," Netanyahu said.
Opposition Chairwoman Tzipi Livni, who was present at the AIPAC speech, said that the two-state solution was first and foremost an Israeli interest.
"Israel must lead in partnership with the US... the world looks up to the US' relationship with Israel, so the message coming out of Washington these days is very important," she said.

AIPAC and Bibi equally worthless.
They both need the love and support of the American President or they will crumble in a corner and cry like a baby.
Let me be clear, Obama is an enemy of the future of the Jewish people and Israel.
If Obama had miss spoke last Thursday, today he would have have cleared up where his support is by doing the following.
1. I want to clear up the issue of borders from my speech on last Thursday. As President I pledge the word of the American people that Israel will never be forced to retreat to the 1967 borders.
2. On the issue of Hamas involved with Fatah as part of the government of the PA, I order all funds cut off from the PA as long as Hamas is part of the government. I also order all PA offices in America closed.
3. There will be zero pressure on Israel to enter into any talks until the hostage Shalit is released. America will also issue warrants for the leadership of Hamas for terrorism
Any thing less than this is just hot air coming from the mouth of Czar Obama.
