++ I have been absent from the Israeli scenic for a few months but noticed that J Street urged President Obama to forward a proposal for a two-state solutions and that the government of Francois Hollande forwarded the idea of convening an international meeting on a peace solution. Bibi naturally opposed this and the meeting was indefinitely postponed.
++What I missed was John Kerry, Tony Blair and the Egyptian President pushing Israel to form a national unity government. This was a real possibility as the foreigners pressed Herzog to join it. Well,that fell through in the last few days.
++To avoid calling for new elections, Bibi offered Avigdor Lieberman the position of Defense Minister, making the Israeli government the most right-wing in its history. Lieberman is hated by the Palestinians, the Israeli Arabs and the Left.
++So expect fireworks and all movement toward peace to end.
