Netanyahu Comes to Washington
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) Brig. Gen. Michael Herzog - The Palestinians want an Obama plan or a UN-imposed solution to the conflict and have set a host of preconditions that must be met before negotiations begin. The Obama administration's focus on engaging the Muslim world has left Israel doubtful that Washington will continue to fully support its security interests. Netanyahu has to be confident not only that there is a Palestinian partner on the other side, but that America will provide a safety net should the process fail.
