U.S. drops demand for Israel building freeze in East Jerusalem
BERLIN - The Obama administration has agreed to Israel's request to remove East Jerusalem from negotiations on the impending settlement freeze.

According to both Israeli officials and Western diplomats, U.S. envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell has recognized the fact that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cannot announce a settlement freeze in East Jerusalem. The officials said the U.S. will not endorse new construction there, but would not demand Jerusalem publicly announce a freeze.

    I think the reason Netanyahu "cannot annouce" a settlement freeze in East J. is because he keeps saying it's the undivided capitol of Israel.  So it's ok for Obama to lose face than for him.  The tail wags the dog.
