The White House says President Barack Obama won’t be unveiling a specific new peace proposal when he visits Israel this spring.
The White House announced Tuesday that Obama would travel to Israel, the West Bank and Jordan, raising the possibility the U.S. would launch a new push to revive the stalled peace process.
But White House spokesman Jay Carney says that’s not the purpose of the trip. He says Obama’s visit is timed to coincide with the start of new terms for Obama and for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Earlier Wednesday, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro said Obama would bring an “urgent” agenda to Israel that includes the situations in Syria and Iran. The visit will be Obama’s first as president to Israel.

Israel needs to tell Obam that because the PA broke the Oslo Accords by going directly to UN we will not discuss peace until new accord in place. Then Israel drags its feet in reaching new accord till after Obama’s 2nd term
Since obama can’t be trusted, anything he says or does is suspect.
The current peace plan in effect, works best. Why would anyone want to ruin it?
