As the three faces of Netanyuhu are on display.
Ahead of the Netanyuhu visit to the white house, Obama, IMHO, made the correct call and said any settlement had to be on the basis of 1967 borders with land swaps.

Otherwise Obama gave Israel almost everything possibe, including no calls for a settlement freeze.
So the three faces of Netanyuhu comes out and are on full display.
1. First he rudely lectures Obama but gets nowhere.
2. Then Obama speaks to AIPAC, explains his position politely and explains again there is nothing new in the 1967 borders plus land swaps. Meanwhile Netanyuhu back pedals, papers over his diffrences with Obama as minor, and pledges to work with Obama.
3. Then Netanyuhu, through his own party, does everything to roll up all the religious support he can get inside Israel.
4.Then proceeds to fail to understand what he is trying to do as he goes to Obama crying about the entire UN trying to throw Israel under the bus. So Obama says I will back Israel but first you have to accept the 1967 border framework Olmert had almost finished negotiating. And then Netanyuhu says, no we want more more and more and want to start out with a clean sheet of paper. At some point, if Netanyuhu wants to infinitly delay a settlement, Obama will simply away and let then UN throw Netanyuhu under the bus.
Because NetaNYUHU IS FINALLY CORNERED and no longer infintely delay settling.
