This funny - Obama and Netanyahu have their big meeting yesterday, Obama goes on about how 'peace' is the key to solving the Iran problem - and then today head of Shin Bet comes out and declares peace impossible as long as Hamas is around. I assume that was planned. Iran supports Hezbollah, Hezbollah supports Hamas - and Obama wants to claim that the key to solving the Iran problem is peace with Palestinians? This is absurd. A workable peace was undoable when conditions were favourable, like at the end of Clinton's run - now you have the near intractable nexus of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas and you're talking peace is the key to everything? Sounds so crazy you almost have to believe that either Obama is delusional or his people are so convinced that his charisma is such a game changer that Netanyahu will have no choice but to make concessions - but then what?! You still have the nexus, you still have the Fatah/Hamas split which, even if some fantasy agreement were to be reached, would fester for god knows how long afterwards - I mean this 'peace first, then Iran' talk sounds absolutely nuts to me.
