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".

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)
