AIPAC Policy Conference 2011 | U.S. President Obama's Speech

AIPAC Policy Conference 2011 | U.S. President Obama's Speech: "The status quo is unsustainable. And that is why on Thursday, I stated publicly the principles that the United States believes can provide a foundation for negotiations toward an agreement to end the conflict and all claims, the broad outlines of which have been known for many years and have been the template for discussions between the United States, Israel and the Palestinians since at least the Clinton administration.

I know that stating these principles on the issues of territory and security generated some controversy over the past few days. I wasn't surprised. I know very well that the easy thing to do, particularly for a president preparing for re-election, is to avoid any controversy."
