President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will be meeting this Monday after a particularly rough patch in the U.S. efforts to brook peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Netanyahu has been resistant to the Obama administration's effort to talk about ceasing Israeli settling in the West Bank. On the other side of the coin, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton set off many Palestinians when she put off Netanyahu's resistance as merely "unprecedented". Both parties are being difficult, but there is at least promise on the Israeli side to slow down the construction.
