Israel on Verge of Revealing New Government
March 5, 2013
By P. David Hornik
...
Claims and speculations about Obamas upcoming visit vary widelyfrom a report Monday on World Tribune that he intends to demand a West Bank withdrawal to Secretary of State John Kerrys assurances that he only seeks to listen. Potentially, Lapids more dovish party could provide an ideal pressure point for a U.S. administration seeking to harry and ultimately undo Netanyahu.
One hopes, then, that the key figures of whatever coalition finally forms will put politics aside and face Israels challenges responsibly. Foremost among those challenges is Iran; as Netanyahu put it in a speech two weeks ago:
Irans development of nuclear weapons will make the Middle East a nuclear tinderbox. It will change the world . Sanctions alone will not stop the nuclear program of Iran .
Although Obama, too, claims hes determined to stop Iranian nukes, his choice of defense secretary casts a thick shadow over his credibility. The situation calls for maximal Israeli unity and seriousness.
