Faced with Prospects of Defeat, Obama Mends Ties With Netanyahu
It is rather hard to deny that Russian
military success in Syria against the CIA backed terrorist organizations
have left the U.S. is a state of quandary. Therefore, the U.S. has,
since the beginning of Russian campaign, been making desperate attempts
and working on all possible policy options to buttress its rapidly
falling position in the Middle East. Making an ironical statement in
this behalf, David Petraeus, former US army general said that after the
Russian “surge” into Syria “America and its allies now look like the
only group without a plan.”
However, it seems that the US has
developed a “plan.” It is nothing new, however. Faced with an
unexpectedly tough situation, Obama has been forced by “circumstances”
to turn his gaze towards a Mid-Eastern behemoth: Israel. Besides
resorting to wooing Iran into Vienna talks as a means to wean it away
from Syria and Russia and sending its special operations forces to
Syria, an important step that the U.S. Government has recently taken is
mending ties with Israel.

Following Netanyahu’s visit to Russia
and his failure to extract the much desired “concessions”, the way was
clear for the U.S. to revamp its ties with Israel to have her in the
“grand anti-Russia alliance” the U.S. seems to be working on. The latest
boost to US-Israel relations came, after experiencing a considerable
cold phase, on last Monday when the U.S. President and Israel’s
Netanyahu met after more than a year.
