President Obama on Monday pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Mideast peace talks, saying that both sides had to make “tough decisions” and would need to “compromise” to reach an accord.

“Tough decisions will have to be made,” said the president alongside Netanyahu before their meeting in the Oval Office. “It is still possible to create two states but it is difficult and requires compromise from both sides.”
