My Comment: I an not seeing what Sec. of State Clinton is seeing. The Middle East's focus right now is on the Syrian civil war and the political unrest (Arab Spring) in countries like Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Jordan, etc.. The Palestinians themselves are deeply divided, and Netanyahu has shown zero interest to be involved in peace talks. And while a significant part of the Israeli electorate voted for some type of change .... the majority did not.
