If peace is reached between us and Israel, Israel really know that all Arab and Islamic countries, i.e. 57 States, will directly recognize the country Israel. "

Ramallah, West Bank (Reuters)-the United States President Barack Obama on Thursday voiced its opposition against the construction of the settlements Israel however pressing Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas to lay claim to the construction of settlements by Israel is stopped before Middle East peace talks can be restarted.

After being greeted with a very warm in Israel, Obama visited the West Bank--the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel, where the Palestinians are disappointed with the small hope survived them that the arrival of the US President will accelerate the formation of an independent Palestinian State, reported Reuters.

In a news conference with Abbas, Obama said that he "had" to describe Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington does not consider that the settlement construction activities help "peace efforts".

However, Obama did not urge an expansion of these settlements was halted--a request she gave in the early during his first term as President.

It implies a sense of due to the failure of Israel and the Palestinians in finding a way to restart the negotiations deadlocked since 2010.

However, he did not offer any new ideas about how Israel and the Palestinians could return to the negotiating table at a time when the prospect of a peace agreement in the region looks bleak disturbed by conflict between the West and Iran nuclear and the civil war in Syria.

The main problem at the moment, Obama said, is how to achieve sovereignty for the Palestinians and security for Israel.

"That doesn't mean that the construction of the settlements is not important. It means that if we solve those problems, the issue of the settlements will be addressed, "said Obama.

Some 150 Palestinian protesters gathered in Ramallah to launch a protest against the visit of Obama.

They are dammed by the police are on guard so that they do not approach the compound where Abbas is located.

With a smile and was accompanied by Abbas, Obama met with Palestinian officials in nearly all lined up along the red carpet.

Obama had previously explained that he had not brought any new initiatives concerning the peace talks.

He visited Israel and the Palestinian territories is more for "listen".

However, he said that the Foreign Minister of his country, John Kerry, will give the time and energy in efforts to diluting the differences between the two sides while the United States attempts to bring them back to the negotiating table.

Abbas reiterated his assertion about freezing the construction of settlements, but he gives the prospect of wider peace between Israel and other Arab countries if the Palestinian State is formed.

"If peace is reached between us and Israel, Israel really know that all Arab and Islamic countries, i.e. 57 States, will directly recognize the country Israel," he said. (T008/M014)
