RAMALLAH, West Bank — As the summit between U.S. President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approaches, most of the discussion has focused on whether the newly elected Israeli leader will finally say that he backs a two-state solution.

The only question that Obama should ask Netanyahu is, when will Israel quit the occupied Palestinian territories?
