US President Barack Obama


An Ultra Orthodox Jewish man walk past posters, hung by an extremist right wing group, depicting US President Barack Obama wearing a traditional Arab headdress, in Jerusalem, Sunday, June 14, 2009. Senior aides say they don't expect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to explicitly endorse Palestinian statehood when he delivers an anxiously awaited policy speech Sunday night, a stance that would preserve an uncomfortable impasse with the United States.

Obama: returning to the barbed wire until the final solution ("the peace")



An Israeli boy attends a protest held by far right Israeli activists during the speech of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv June 14, 2009. Netanyahu accepted on Sunday the U.S.-backed goal of a Palestinian state but balked at meeting President Barack Obama's demand to stop Jewish settlement expansion. The placard on the right reads in Hebrew "Obama: returning to the barbed wire until the final solution ("the peace")".
