the issue here is that the WH is following the campaign statements of Obama, which were very pro-Israeli (as they were for all the candidates), but this doesn't mean that it is the policy he'd follow.
no-one's making the case for engagement in the Middle-East, nor noting the inconsistency of Obama's desire to engage with Hamas (which WH has mentioned twice now). Certainly no discussion of whether getting involved is worth the effort...

NATO troops in the Middle East?!!! Ambitious, given the problems of getting enough troops into Afghanistan.
NSA is getting towards the idea that Palestine fits into wider security issues, but this is a latent topic.
