There is one issue as to which Obama has something to offer Israel, and that is Iran. It is conceivable that Israel would negotiate against itself, in effect, regarding Israeli-Palestinian issues in exchange for action by the U.S. that would put an end to Iran's nuclear theat. But, so far as appears, Obama is unwilling to offer Israel anything meaningful along these lines. For the time being, then, we seem to be at a dead-end. That wasn't the real question. The real question was: what motivates Barack Obama? Is he as weak as he seems? What will he really do against a supportive Congress if Israel hands him a heads-up and a fait accompli? I thought the post-meeting body language was quite strange. Obama was slouchy and looked tired and somewhat disgusted. Disgruntled, at any rate. Bibi was weirdly super-attentive - sitting legs apart, hands on knees, head turned 90 degrees sideways to stare at Obama while Obama was speaking. I'm not sure what it means. fwiw, debka thought Bibi came out slightly ahead in the exchange: Obama-Netanyahu summit: Yes to six-month limit for Iran dialogue, no to Palestinian state now
