US President Barack Obama unexpectedly joined Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak's meeting with US National Security Advisor James Jones.

This gesture could have been meant to bestow honor upon Ehud Barak, make it clear that Jone''s positions reflect those of Obama, or alternatively was an effort to show a balanced approach and give Israel a boost amid the US administration's outreach to the Muslim world, which will include a visit to Riyadh on Wednesday and a major speech in Cairo on Thursday, but no stop in Israel.
