President Obama's Discoordinated Messages

Dr. Aaron Lerner of IMRA   noticed what he calls "significantly different presidential messages to Abbas and Netanyahu" from Obama:

For Abbas: just and lasting peace based on the two state solution

For Netanyahu: parties have much work to do - achieve peace (no mention of it either being "just" or "lasting" or basis of "two state solution").

Here:

The White House Office of the Press Secretary

President Obama called Palestinian Authority President Abbas to commend him for his leadership and courage in resuming final status negotiations with Israel. The President reaffirmed that the United States stands ready to support the parties in achieving a just and lasting peace based on the two state solution, and will continue to work closely with the Palestinian Authority to achieve this goal.

The two leaders agreed to continue the close coordination between the United States and Israel on this and other regional issues.
