US, Israel Differ On Peace Plan; Palestinians Seek UN Help -- Voice Of America
U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu say that differences remain over the path to Mideast peace.
The two leaders commented after holding talks at the White House on Friday. Netanyahu said Israel is willing to make concessions with Palestinians, who have been seeking statehood.

Obama proposed Israel consider returning to the pre-war borders - with conditions - in a speech on Thursday.
