The New York Times reported today:

“Mr. Obama said that the capital of Israel should be Jerusalem, but added that the matter should be settled through a negotiation by the parties.

“ ‘That’s an issue that has to be dealt with by the parties involved, the Palestinians and the Israelis, and it is not the job of the United States to dictate the form in which that will take,’ Mr. Obama said, ‘but rather to support the efforts that are being made right now to resolve these very difficult issues that have a long history.’ ”

The U.S. can’t dictate, but we can support. Excellent!
