JERUSALEM (AP) — In recent months, many in the Middle East had assumed — some in hope, others with concern — that once the Iranian nuclear issue was resolved, the United States would make another push for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. But the opposite seems more likely.
After a drawn-out confrontation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Iranian nuclear deal, the White House seems to have little appetite for what would almost certainly be a new round of tensions with the Israeli leader over the terms of Palestinian statehood. With the odds of success slim and U.S. elections approaching, President Barack Obama seems more interested in repairing his tattered relationship with Israel, leaving the Palestinian issue to his successor.
In recent comments, Obama has spoken of boosting security cooperation and providing upgraded military hardware to make up for Israeli misgivings over the nuclear deal. Speaking to the Jewish newspaper The Forward last week, he likened his differences with Israel to a disagreement inside a family and predicted relations would survive the test. "I think it is important for everybody to just take a breath for a moment and recognize that people on both sides of the debate love the United States and also love Israel," Obama said. He made no mention of the Palestinian issue.
A U.S. State Department official told The Associated Press that the U.S. is not planning any bold new diplomatic initiatives after the Iran deal makes its way through Congress. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
In Israel, there had been speculation that Obama might act otherwise. "Now that President Barack Obama has got his Iran deal ... he will likely also try, in the year and four months until the presidential elections,

Hrrmpf. Well, guess that 2,520 countdown clock hasn't started yet (not that I was thinking it did).
["Now that President Barack Obama has got his Iran deal ... he will likely also try, in the year and four months until the presidential elections,...]
I’m sure at Yahoo! few will have ears to hear. Check the comments section, no doubt.
You know, and we all know, if he gets this, he isn’t going to stop
You know, If I was the Pali’s I would be as concerned about this as Israel is.
I wouldn’t want to bet my life on those first Iranian Nukes having dead on balls accurate aim.
I would be digging a very deep hole right now.
A SPAT??
More like an abusive divorce with no hope of reconciliation as long as the abuser is around.
discussing “the terms of Palestinian statehood (sic)” would be like discussing the terms of ordering fish to ride bicycles
a total and complete farce, for a totally and completely ridiculous (indeed, very harmful of American interests) objective
I stop reading any articles which have such absurd premises in their lead paragraphs. Just more enemy propaganda
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Maybe not. Though not as important as a nuclear Iran, a palestinian/terror state on Israel's border was a legacy item for Obama. He'll have opportunities
Methinks 0Bunghole will back off. Forcing the Paleostinians onto Israel might kill Jewish donations in the 2016 Presidential cycle.
Vampire 0Bunghole got his pound of Jewish flesh and blood all the Jew haters are sated for a while. And I saw lots of Jew hatred and Israel hatred on some other sites I otherwise like. Not here though.
There are a lot of sicko Israel haters out there and half of what they post is incorrect and wild anti-Jewish accusations and Zionist conspiracy theories. Ron Paul really brought out these maggots.
Really??? So which is it???
