Next year is going to see the collapse of every recent hope of peace, for the Likud government is tearing up the Oslo accords. Netanyahu seems intent on provoking the Palestinians to violence. The U.S. is in a position to leverage Israel, but that is not going to happen, for the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee, the most powerful lobby group in the U.S. supports the Netanyahu government; Likud's friends in the US Congress were defending his expansion of Jewish settlements on confiscated Arab land within two days of Mr. Netanyahu's announcement.
