"Israel's foreign minister said Wednesday that the summit of Israeli, U.S. and Palestinian leaders proved Israel could successfully fend off international pressure to freeze West Bank settlement construction. Palestinian officials expressed disappointment with Tuesday's meeting in New York." Wait. But the New York Times found a Dahlan advocate in Washington, DC who found the shift in US policy in favor of Israeli government a positive step. I think the man is competing with Sa'ib `Uraykat for the title of chief buffoon of the PA.
