In a keynote policy speech last Thursday, President Obama calling for an Israel-Palestine peace deal based on 1967 borders is indeed commendable. If the deal which Obama has outlined in his speech is espoused by both Israel and Palestine this will herald a new era in the Middle East and open the door for peace and stability to both Israel and Palestine state and put an end to age-old hostility between the two nations that cost hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties to both nations. It is also very interesting to learn that most of the major European nations have also supported Obama's peace plan which shows that they are also sincere and are willing to see that the problem is solved for good. As for Israel, this deal would definitely bring a much awaited boost for them to earn the confidence of the Arab states and make them free from the impression of a hawkish nation. Israel must not miss this opportunity and get the peace plan going.
