Compromisational Achievability, Commonsensical Flexibilitisation

The prime minister of the Righteous State and the Palestinian president - but mostly, no doubt, the latter - have caused frustration to President Obama by failing to recognise that it is time to move forward by beginning negotiations towards the achievement of the goals of permanent status. Even Mahmoud Abbas is reluctant to negotiate while the Israelis continue to inflame the injury of their illegal occupation with the insult of illegal settlements on the West Bank. Although the US supplies much of the wherewithal for the Righteous State's often spectacular acts of self-defence, and hence might be thought capable of exerting a certain moral leverage, Netanyahu "rebuffed a US call for a total freeze on Jewish settlement on the West Bank". Obama called on the Righteous State and the Palestinians - but mostly, no doubt, the latter - to show flexibility in their attitude to international law, common sense in recognising that the Middle East's only nuclear power has little need of flexibility, and thereby to achieve the necessary compromise to achieve the goals which the US shares with the Righteous State.
