All Down to Obama

Is a breach between the Obama and Netanyahu governments on the horizon? I asked this question to a senior Israeli government official recently and was told -- not that convincingly, I thought -- that it wasn't in the cards because the two governments don't fundamentally disagree on the big questions. But MJ Rosenberg comes at the question from a different angle -- pointing out that the US government virtually always gets what it wants when a popular US president puts down his foot. This is an important read -- and really shows that it comes down to what Obama wants and what he'll demand.
