Obama on the 2-state solution in Israel/Palestine

A good analysis of Obama's take on the 2-state solution for Israel/Palestine can be found here. In particular, it makes the distinction between two meanings of the 2-state solution: 1) That endorsed by the international consensus, in particular all the Arab League states, which means full Israel to 1967 borders (with some minor adjustments), and 2) That accepted by Israel and the US, which means no full Israeli withdrawal to 1967 borders, keeping most settlements in the West Bank, etc.
