Looks like Obama plans to impose his own "solution" and set up a Palestinian State without any Arab commitment to peace or any end to the current incitement and demonization of Israel and without any agreement to protect Jewish villages and cities within their state. (in parallel to all the Arab villages and cities within the Jewish State) ... or indeed without any participation by Israel!! According to HaAretz:
Israeli officials: Obama to call world summit if Mideast peace talks fail
"U.S. President Barack Obama has told several European leaders that if Israeli-Palestinian talks remain stalemated into September or October, he will convene an international summit on achieving Mideast peace, senior Israeli officials told Haaretz on Thursday. The officials said the conference would be run by the Quartet of Middle East peacemakers - the United States, European Union, United Nations and Russia - in a bid to forge a united global front for creating a Palestinian state. The summit, they said, would address such core issues as borders, security arrangements, Palestinian refugees and the status of Jerusalem. Obama is determined to exert his influence to establish a Palestinian state, the officials said, and several European leaders have vowed that the EU would support any peace plan proposed by Washington. Therefore, though so-called proximity talks are set to start in the coming weeks, Obama is already readying for the possibility that the indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks might reach a dead end.The U.S. proposal would likely be presented by the end of this year, the officials said."-more
