Obama:
Romney:
The president points to what he calls
his administration's "unprecedented"
commitment to Israel's security, cit-
ing the growth in U.S. security assis-
tance and funding for the Iron Dome
system to intercept rockets from
Gaza. He has promised to do "what it
takes to preserve Israel's qualitative
military edge — because Israel must
always have the ability to defend
itself, by itself, against any threat."
He has pledged to pursue a
two-state solution to the Israeli-
Palestinian conflict, saying that
"a lasting peace will involve two
states for two peoples: Israel as a
Jewish state and the homeland for
the Jewish people, and the state of
Palestine as the homeland for the
Palestinian people." He has called
for using the 1967 lines with mutu-
ally agreed land swaps as the basis
for negotiating the borders between
Israel and a Palestinian state.
Obama opposed Palestinian efforts
to gain statehood recognition at the
United Nations and said the path
to a Palestinian state is "negotia-
tions between the parties!' He has
demanded that Hamas recognize
Israel's right to exist, renounce vio-
lence and abide by past agreements
between Israel and the Palestinians.
While the Obama administration
has criticized Israeli building in east-
ern Jerusalem and the West Bank, it
also vetoed a U.N. Security Council
resolution condemning Israeli settle-
ment activities.
The Republican nominee says
Obama "has thrown Israel under the
bus" and has tried to create "day-
light" between the United States and
Israel. He says the "world must never
see any daylight between our two
nations!' He vows to "never unilater-
ally create preconditions for peace
talks, as President Obama has done!'
At a meeting with donors that was
secretly recorded, Romney expressed
pessimism about current possi-
bilities for Israeli-Palestinian peace,
explaining that the Palestinians don't
want peace. He suggested the best
that could be done would be to "kick
the ball down the field and hope that
ultimately, somehow, something will
happen and resolve it!'
But in a later speech he promised
to "recommit America to the goal of
a democratic, prosperous Palestinian
state living side by side in peace
and security with the Jewish state
of Israel." He says he "will reject any
measure that would frustrate direct
negotiations between Israel and the
Palestinians."
Romney has promised to increase
military assistance to Israel.
