THIS TIME IT IS THE ISRAELIS WHO WILL BOW….TO PRESSURE….RSK
After six weeks of intense negotiations, a new Israeli coalition has emerged to greet President Obama when he arrives in Jerusalem on March 20th. It is a product of an obsessive democracy with diverse backgrounds and conflicting views on practically everything. . . The government that has been formed under the leadership of Israeli PM Netanyahu reflects an introspective turn concentrating on domestic economic and social issues rather than on Palestinian peace prospects. It is a coalition of partners, who reflect the consensus of the Israeli polity that is “sane about” the realities of the neighborhood that surrounds them. . . .The emerging consensus arising from this Israel coalition bicker process is that Israel has to deal with cleaning up decades of domestic problems such as monopolies, housing availability and integrating, rather than being beholden to the demands of the extreme Orthodox, the heredim. The steadfast coalition that emerged from the January 22nd Knesset election is composed of former Israeli Channel 2 news anchor Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party and young Israeli multi-millionaire high tech entrepreneur Naftali Bennett’s Bayit Yehudi ( Jewish Home). They cut a deal with Netanyahu reflecting those issues. . . .An interview on Israeli TV Thursday night with President Obama may not have mollified the opinion of viewers in the Jewish nation concerned with Iran’s relentless quest for nuclear weapons. . . . If the new government announced by PM Netanyahu has the solid backing from its citizens on one issue it is that Iran must be stopped from perfecting its nuclear existential threat against the Jewish Nation. The Persian New Year, Nowruz, occurs during President Obama’s visit to Jerusalem. Given the threats to Israel on its immediate borders from Hezbollah and al Qaida on Israel’s Golan Heights, the new government will not take any chances with differing timetables about a Nuclear Iran.
