based Al-Jazeera said the statements of the US officials on the importance of realizing peace in the Middle East were positive statements, but what is needed is more than mere pronouncements of statements. "Israel will turn a deaf ear to the statements and will go ahead on the path of its extremist policy and will turn down its commitments including the decisions of Annapolis," the paper said, adding that Obama's administration should be committed to its statements; otherwise it will be following the footsteps of the former US administrations. The daily pointed that continuation of the conflict will undermine the interests of the US, and said there is no alternative to the two states formula and any other idea will not be accepted by Washington. "Israel should comply with the policy of Obama but that needs putting pressure on the Jewish state," the daily concluded.
