7. Jordan's King is in Washington meeting with Obama

Here is an Israeli article on Jordan's efforts that mentions Obama's meeting. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/jordan-s-abdullah-israel-realizes-need-to-revive-mideast-peace-talks-immediately-1.407769 (Note - Haaretz is a left leaning Israeli paper, although like the Boston Globe, it seems to have a fair share of right wing posters in the comments.)

I think King Abdullah sums up Israel's choice very clearly in saying Israel must choose between 'apartheid' and democracy. For anyone who wants a two state solution, this is reality.


"The more the Israelis play with kicking this down the line, the more they are in danger of losing what they think is the ideal future Israel,” Abdullah told the Washington Post, adding that "waiting is the worst mistake the Israelis can make."
