This week’s Economist leader argues that President Obama should take a tougher stance on supporting a two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After the results of last week’s Israeli elections, in which Kadima (Livni) only got one more seat than Likud (Netanyahu), it may still take weeks for Israel to build a coalition government. In the meantime, the Economist argues, Obama should make clear that movement towards a two-state solution is in the best interest of both Israel and the United States.

Even if Obama does take a tough stance, I’m not sure how effective it will be. It seems both parties (from what I’ve heard from other sources) are pretty strongly against a two-state resolution, Likud especially. I think such a stance will be destined for failure if what I heard was true.
