Tardive Obama action against the Israeli government

At the expiration of his presidential term, the Obama administration makes one of the sockets of the toughest stand against the Israeli government's policy, based on territorial expansion, passed off as a safety element of the state of Israel. The position of the Israeli government is known: to prevent territorial contiguity of a less and less likely, Palestinian state, through the infringement of the 1967 agreements In this project the physical occupation of the territory for the Palestinians, with settlements Israeli, characterized by strong adhesion to the most extreme part of the Jewish religion is the central factor in the removal and retention of large tracts of land to the Arab side. The wait-and-tactics Netanyahu, who prevaricated several times on the most logical solution, that of two states, proved in the end, winning, thanks to the victory of the American presidential Trump, which is billed as an ally of the current government of Israel and that he shares the most extreme positions. Obama and Kerry, then, come out losers and their disappearance from the American political sanctions the failure of their project of a territory and two states. However, this solution is still shared by most Western states, and this conviction is being heralded as the posthumous revenge of the two men was the end of their mandate. In fact, the scenario that you can anticipate and, of which the United Nations resolution against the settlements, is only the last chapter, is that of a Jewish state increasingly more isolated from the international scenario and increasingly ostracized, which may not suffice, while important, almost total support of the new US administration. Certainly from an operational standpoint the Israeli government will have greater freedom of action, but, with respect, international relations difficulties will only increase. Unfortunately, the regret is that this has not happened before and that this has not been the right pressure to resolve the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian question. Of what much of the responsibility can only be ascribed precisely to Obama and Kerry, who used too shy and cautious support to the government of Israel have not been able to impose such measures to be able to achieve their goal of the establishment of a Palestinian state and thus complete the project of the two states in one territory. The taking of Obama's position, a few days after the expiration of its mandate, it is late and even suspect, a sort of retaliation against Trump, which highlights the inability of action in the international scene of the outgoing president. Obama will be remembered as a great president for its internal action, but what about international politics its budget appears largely unsatisfactory. The Israeli one, in fact, is not the only case where there is to be regretted for what was done by Obama: we must remember the sloth on the Syrian case which could be solved almost immediately, avoiding an unfavorable situation for the US and the West and , above all, the many massacres, the bad management of Iraq, which has contributed to the emergence of the Islamic State, any situation that favored the powerful return of Russia as a major player, a further factor and severe instability in the international system . Probably even Obama had predicted the victory of Trump and ideally had already left the reins of international politics to Hillary Clinton, defeated output unexpectedly from the presidential consultations. This would explain why after so much silence occurred the position papers of the last days: a desperate attempt and perhaps more harmful, than anything else to the image of Obama, to force the new president to find a situation difficult to manage. The only additional consideration, that you can do, is the obvious division, more and more accentuated, in the American body politic, a system that was once characterized by a short and relative distance between the Republican and Democratic parties, a distance that seems to have become abysmal and to which country the United States, taken as a political and social together, does not seem to be ready to cope, and that will probably be due to deep political upheavals outside and inside on the plane, hardly governable.
