President Obama will be hosting talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. He will talk with both sides separately before bringing them together for a trilateral meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the construction that the Israeli government has begun on the land that the Palestinians claim as their own. The United States has publicly disagreed with Israel on their decision to build on the Palestinians' land. President Obama called for a complete freeze on the development. Israel has declined to follow through with the freeze. The closest Israel has gotten is to slow down their development, but not bring it completely to a halt. Hopefully the talks will bring forward some type of compromise to the two parties involved.
