TEL AVIV, April 19, 2010(WFAFA)-Israel must recognize that the world will not put up with decades more of Israeli rule over the Palestinian people, Israeli Minister of Security Ehud Barak, Haaretz daily saiod.

Barak's comments came against the backdrop of severe friction between the U.S. and Israel's hawkish government over an impasse in peacemaking, Haaretz stressed.

'The world isn't willing to accept - and we won't change that in 2010 - the expectation that Israel will rule another people for decades more,' he said. 'It's something that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world.'

'The alienation that is developing with the United States is not good for Israel,' Barak said in a radio interview. 'We have strong ties with the United States, a bond, long-term friendship and strategic partnership. We receive three billion dollars from them each year; we get the best planes in the world from them.'

'For all these reasons we must act to change things,' Barak said, while voicing doubt that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would soon enjoy the same warm ties with the White House as his predecessors did when President George W. Bush was in office.

With Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama sharply at odds over settlement policy in the Palestinian territory which the Palestinians eye for a state, Barak held out the prospect of reshaping Israel's government so that it could make bold land-for-peace moves.

'With a broad readiness to go for a [peace] agreement, Israeli governments have overcome many obstacles in the daily discourse with the Americans about building in this or that settlement or a Jerusalem neighborhood,' Barak said about long-standing differences with Washington over the issue.
