Several weeks ago Bibi delibered a speech at Bar Ilan in which he was very careful not to mention the words "two states for two peoples". He was extremely careful. That was because Bibi did not want to be caught retracting his words afterwards with actions that deep inside he is not willing to take. He is, after all, eager to prove himself as being honest. And in the present reality of politicians being indicted and gpoing to jail, honest politicians are what we need!
Now we hear Bibi again through what he is NOT saying. He will not utter the words "Moratorium" or "freeze." That is because Bibi has absolutely no intention of halting the building in the West Bank. Absolutely none. So we will have a "slowdown", a "quiet period", perhaps building will only be resumed "after the holidays" as is the comming remark to justify procrastination about anything at this time of year.
Bibi is doing one thing for certain: he is making sure that he makes no committments towards peace or towards a Palestinian State. After all, he did not say he would. And it's what Bibi does not say that makes things clear.
Make no mistake about it. Bibi is honest. He will not say what he will not do.
