Much attention has focused on the differences that reportedly exist between the United States and Israel. Of course, every country has its national interests, and no two sets of national interests are completely identical, especially when applied to a region as complex and multi-faceted as the Middle East. But what is far more important is the convergent thinking between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu on a number of key issues.

Obama’s double-or-nothing moment in the Middle East by Jackson Diehl, Washington Post, December 8, 2010
“As I have pointed out before, the settlements are mostly not material to a deal on a Palestinian state, since both sides accept that the majority of them will be annexed to Israel in exchange for land elsewhere. The issue has become an obstacle in large part because of Obama’s misguided placement of emphasis on it, which forced Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to embrace a hard line.”

Obama and the Coming Palestinian State by John Bolton, Wall Street Journal, October 20, 2010
We have recognized the special nature of the Israeli state. It is a state for the Jewish people. [....] [A] core demand of the Israeli Government, which we support, is [...] acceptance by the region of the existence of the state of Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people and that is what they want to see through this negotiation. We understand this aspiration and the prime minister was talking yesterday about the fact that just as they aspire to a state for the Jewish people in the Middle East, they understand the aspirations of the Palestinian people for a state of their own.
