Yoram Ettinger, the former Minister for Congressional Affairs to Israel's Embassy in Washington, charged Tuesday that U.S. President Barack Obama is holding the Netanyahu-Abbas-Obama summit in order to continue “clipping the wings of the State of Israel.”

Ettinger says that it’s time to exert significant pressure to prevent Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu from giving in to more American demands. “The big pressure from outside must be answered by pressure from those who believe in the importance of the Jewish settlement enterprise in Judea and Samaria,” he explained.

Ettinger said that the U.S. Congress and the decline in public support for Obama are two elements that can be used to Israel's benefit.
