(Ynet).PM Netanyahu can breathe with relief, at least for a few more months: The White House announced Friday that US President Barack Obama would not be presenting an American peace initiative for the Middle East during his upcoming speech in Egypt on June 4.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked about the issue following media reports that the plan would be presented soon, following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington earlier this week.
The American spokesman clarified that the speech itself, which is still being composed in Washington, would be a broader speech about relations with Muslims worldwide, and that the president did not intend to present a Mideast peace plan.
Gibbs did note that Obama could not address the Muslim world without referring to the issue, but added that it was incorrect that the speech would focus on it.
