NEW YORK – President Barack Obama is sternly urging Israeli and Palestinian leaders to do more to make Mideast peace talks possible.
Obama spoke at the start of a joint meeting in New York with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (neh-ten-YAH'-hoo) and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (mahk-MOOD' ah-BAHS').
He launched the meeting by presiding over a handshake between the two leaders. Obama brought them together for the first Israeli-Palestinian meeting since Netanyahu took office in March. The three-way session came after Obama met individually with both men on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly session.
