US: No opportunity to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict next year

US President Barack Obama, official sources in Washington, said she does not see that there is a real opportunity to make progress towards resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the next year.
The sources said as quoted by "Voice of Israel", he said Obama will discuss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during their meeting expected next Monday the possibility of taking steps to re-build confidence between the parties.
The words of these sources came in a briefing to reporters last night. She said national security adviser US Susan Rice met with Israeli Foreign Minister Yossi Cohen at the White House last night in preparation for the meeting with Obama - Netanyahu, where talks focused on "strategic threats facing Israel and the assistance to be provided by Washington to ensure Israel's ability to defend itself."
