That would certainly play into what the opposition parties in Israel say about Netanyahu and fuel their campaign even more to defeat Netanyahu.
Believe me ... Netanyahu wants this issue to GO AWAY for the sake of his election ... :-) ...
I can't imagine what living with a sword hanging above your head must be like, but with Islam holding that sword and Iran being enabled by Obama to get the bomb I definitely wouldn't turn the reins over to Herzog. After almost 70 years of negotiations Israel can't even get the basic right to exist. There will be no peace. The most you can get is negotiated one-sided cease fires.
Meanwhile, After snubbing Netanyahu, Biden meets with Israeli opposition leader Herzog in Munich. But that's not being partisan. No, not at all.
