The Potential Romance Between Obama and Netanyahu
Excerpt:

Most of all, Israelis support a two-state solution, even if they are skeptical about the ability to negotiate it successfully. To the uninitiated, the logic may seem daunting. But the truth is, Israelis place some of the blame on the weakness of their own leadership. They impatiently wait for deus ex machina to end the longest running drama of international politics in the form of American engagement.

Make no mistake, therefore: Obama's endorsement of a two-state solution -- and even his insistence that Israel's government do the same -- will be more than accepted in Israel. It will be embraced. Perhaps Netanyahu couldn't say otherwise on his first date with Obama, but that formula will continue to govern the future American policy in the region, and Netanyahu will have to make clear where he stands.

1. Netanyahu has demonstrated that he is not interested in the two
state solution or in furthering the peace process by his actions allowing for more Israeli settlements when Obama has asked that it not continue. There is no romance and I am waiting to see what happens next.
