To me, it looks like Obama and Abbas are genuinely comfortable with each other; still not so much with Netanyahu.
But, good news being reported. It looks like Obama's trip to the Middle East brought Israelis and Palestinians closer together, at least temporarily.
“I think President Abbas and I can agree that the speech was one of the silliest things we have ever heard,” said Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, who was flanked by the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas. “We have come together to announce that there is very little chance of a two-state solution and violence will probably persist, but we both strongly believe that the president was just absolutely adorable up there today.”
“And together, we can make fun of the president much more effectively than if we were apart,” he added.
Sources reported that the unity between the Israelis and Palestinians continued well into the afternoon, when, after the laughter died down and eventually gave way to silence, three suicide bombers ignited their vests and sent everyone scattering back to their sides.
