From Haaretz:
LONDON - U.S. President-elect Barack Obama proclaimed himself "very impressed" with the Arab League's peace plan when he discussed it with President Shimon Peres during a brief visit to Israel four months ago, Peres said Tuesday.
Peres, who had just arrived in London for an official visit, made the comment in interviews to be published in the British media. He was responding to questions about whether he thought Obama would advance the Middle East peace process in general and the Arab League's plan in particular.
But he denied a Sunday Times report earlier this week which claimed that Obama had said Israel would be "crazy" to reject the Arab initiative.
On Monday, former American envoy to the Middle East Dennis Ross, who has been advising Obama on the subject, also denied reports that Obama had said while visiting Israel in July that he supported the Arab initiative and would base his own diplomatic policy on it.

My Comment: There is a considerable amount of speculation here .... we do not know exactly what President-elect Obama will be doing when he makes official policy. But if these reports are true, it will be a major change in U.S. foreign policy.
The problem with this plan, is that the Palestinians are at a state of civil war with each other .... with Hamas having the stronger hand.
