I hope that Herzog and Livni will be able to pull this out. In fact, the elections have had their own impact in tying the hands of the US.

Even the left leaning Haaretz has claimed that almost ANY action by the US - vetoing, not vetoing the UN resolution will be used to help Netanyahu - who has argued he can keep Israel safest -- think of him as their GWB circa 2003/2004.

Netanyahu has been dishonest throughout the peace talks -- and his goal has been to disrupt any agreement since at least his actions against Oslo more than 20 years ago!
