Martin Long man writes that "Netanyahu Brought This On By Himself. For an excellent account of the mess Bibi got himself in,Longman's piece and today's article in the New York Times analyzes internal-Israeli politics on Bibi's hysteria over the UN Resolution that can't be undone by waiting for Trump.
A theme running through the analyses of Bibi's reaction is that he can't seem to make up his mind--the international community is almost universally opposed to Israel's policies and now it says that Bibi could go to the Hague, a position he actually agrees with.
Longman goes into the parliamentary debates in Israel on settlements and the court cases.
Martin Longman quotes Israeli pundits that Bibi has to choose between the international community and his hard right allies. They say he can't keep saying publicly to the West he is for a two-state solution and move ion the opposition direction.
This issue is just below the surface as Trump vows to move the American embassy to Jerusalem. Today the Washington Post wrote an article about the legal difficulties on doing this. Bibi said today he was rethinking his attitude toward the United Nations. Since Israel exists because of the UN recognition, what happens if they take it away.
