there's no narrative here. it's simply a gathering of israeli views from the country's papers. there are some which look to netanyahu to work toward pres. obama's goal, and fewer who appear to resist any change. in short, it is a summary of the difficulty now facing the israeli government: can it reach out to find a palestine with which to move to the balance obama's speech laid out.

Very clever way of rounding up commentary on Obama's speech from Israeli press. Rather than simply list the best quotes, I wonder if it would have been more effective to include some paragraphs of analysis in between. As it stands, however, I think I got the big picture just by reading the excerpts without the BBC's help.

Great idea, hampered by the lack of any context regarding the writers who are quoted as well as the political orientation (if any) of their publications.

This is a hard piece to rate on NewsTrust, but it is a recommended read to get the Israel press response to Obama's speech.
