Obama addresses the controversy of reinstating border control between Israel and Palestinian. He stated that  "border control should go back to the agreement that took place after the  the six day war that occurred during 1967 on Thursday. This was rejected by Prime Minister of Israel. The six day war Israel took possession of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and other territories. Obama did address the controversy and did propose for Israelis and Palestinians to come to some sort of a different agreement than the 1967 terms.  The Prime Minster (Netanyahu) of Israel also wants to have peace and appreciates Obama's efforts.
