JERUSALEM -- US President Barack Obama said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's terms for diplomacy that might lead to a Palestinian state meant Israel had lost international credibility as a potential peacemaker.

Obama also suggested that continued US diplomatic defense for Israel at the United Nations over the Palestine dispute may be reviewed, while reaffirming US support for Israeli security in a conflict-riven Middle East.

In an interview with Israeli television aired on Tuesday, he offered a bleak outlook for decades of negotiations on Palestinian statehood bearing any fruit during the 18 months he has left in office.

"I don't see the likelihood of a framework agreement," Obama said in an interview with Uvda, a current-affairs program produced by Israel's top-rated Channel Two and Keshet television. "The question is how do we create some building blocks of trust and progress."

3. I trust Israel ...
