    Biden would have a huge hill to climb here. Netanyahu has a lot of incentive to wait until after our election to take this sort of action. And meanwhile, he can choose between giving Biden a huge win or embarrassing Biden, again.

    But I have repeatedly seen Biden succeed when faced with difficult diplomatic problems. So I have to admit that personally, this does get my hopes up a little.

      Yeah. I don’t think he’d yank our chain either, he wouldn’t say he thinks its close unless he actually thinks its close.

        Frankly, when it comes to peace in the Middle East, I wouldn’t say I thought it was close until it was actually done. But I’m not a politician, so what do I know?
