Reports say, Bay City's Rita Tilley used $2,500 in savings to purchase a billboard sign on southbound I-75 that says, "Stand with Isreal."

This, as Israel's prime minister says he is willing to make "painful compromises" with the Palestinians.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says negotiations with Isreal will be "meaningless" as long as Israel keeps building on land that Palestinians claim for a state.

Abbas has asked to the UN to recognize Palestine as a state, but Israel rebuked the request. The U.S.vows to veto Palestian recognition, saying peace won't come through U.N. resolutions.
