Well it appears that Israel has backed down from construction in Jerusalem (or so the US is told to smooth ruffled feathers).

The only thing I find funny about this, is the headline.

The Israeli's name is Barak. That sounds a lot like Obama's first name doesn't it?

Funny coincidence.

I don't see why he has to reassure them though, because there is no way in hell the USA will be taking sides against Israel.

I mean come on, you think Rahm Emanual would let that fly? Don't think so.
