Well there have bee fairly credible reports that Obama is fairly pro Palestine and he just dones't talk about it because he thinks it's political suicide.

That said, i think he'd back Israel if they were attacked by another country, and outside that it doesn't matter much. Just means he won't get a deal in the middle east done.

Which nobody ever seems to do as they wait till like the last couple years of there presidency as if they were pulling an all night carm session, even though that kind of thing needs to get done BEFORE then since one side or the other is going to see the next preisdent as more beneficial to them.

To be honest the only deal that can be done is a sovereign state of Palestine with an East Jerusalem capital, no Israeli roadblocks and at least partial dismantlement of their settlements. No other deal can really happen.

 


Really, no deal will get done then.  The Israelis will never agree to going back to the previous borders that were decided on because when they extended their hand in agreement they ended up with a war.

I can't ever picture them actually agreeing to scede any part of Jerusalem.
