Obama Thinks He's Epicenter

U.S. President Barack Obama may moderate a meeting between the leaders of Israel and the Palestinian Authority at the United Nations next month in talks that could lead to the resumption of the peace process, Israeli President Shimon Peres said on Monday.

Plans are for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to meet during the U.N. General Assembly to discuss the future of stalled Middle East peace negotiations, Peres said in a Fox News interview.

"I think they will meet by the end of September. President Obama will chair it, and I think that at least there is a chance that they will decide they are going to reopen negotiations," Peres said, adding Hamas would not be part of the discussion.
