<p>President Obama told the U.N. General Assembly 18 months ago that he would
seek “real breakthroughs on these two issues — Irans nuclear program and
­Israeli-Palestinian peace.”</p>
<p>But <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/netanyahu-sweeps-to-victory-in-israeli-election/2015/03/18/af4e50ca-ccf2-11e4-8730-4f473416e759_story.html"
title="www.washingtonpost.com">Benjamin Netanyahus triumph</a> in Tuesdays
parliamentary elections keeps in place an Israeli prime minister who has
declared his intention to resist Obama on both of these fronts, guaranteeing
two more years of difficult diplomacy between leaders who barely conceal
their personal distaste for each other.</p>
<p>The Israeli election results also suggest that most voters there support
Netanyahus tough stance on U.S.-led negotiations to limit Irans nuclear
program and his vow on Monday that there would be <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/on-final-day-of-campaign-netanyahu-says-no-palestinian-state-if-he-wins/2015/03/16/4f4468e8-cbdc-11e4-8730-4f473416e759_story.html"
title="www.washingtonpost.com">no independent Palestinian state</a> as long
as he is prime minister.</p>
<p>“On the way to his election victory, Netanyahu broke a lot of crockery
in the relationship,” said Martin Indyk, executive vice president of the
Brookings Institution and a former U.S. ambassador to Israel. “It cant
be repaired unless both sides have an interest and desire to do so.”</p>
<p>Aside from Russian President Vladi­mir Putin, few foreign leaders so brazenly
stand up to Obama and even fewer among longtime allies.</p>

<div class="inline-video-caption"> <span class="pb-caption">Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to form a new governing coalition quickly after an upset election victory that was built on a shift to the right. (Reuters)</span>
</div>
</div>
<p>In the past, Israeli leaders who risked damaging the countrys most important
relationship, that with Washington, tended to pay a price. In 1991, when
Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir opposed the Madrid peace talks, President
George H.W. Bush held back loan guarantees to help absorb immigrants from
the former Soviet Union. Shamir gave in, but his government soon collapsed.</p>
<p>But this time, Netanyahu was not hurt by his personal and substantive
conflicts with the U.S. president.</p>
<p>“While the United States is loved and beloved in Israel, President Obama
is not,” said Robert M. Danin, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign
Relations. “So the perceived enmity didnt hurt the way it did with Shamir
when he ran afoul of Bush in 91.”</p>
<p>Where do U.S.-Israeli relations go from here?</p>
<p>In the immediate aftermath of Tuesdays elections, tensions between the
two sides continued to run hot. The Obama administrations first comments
on the Israeli election came with a tough warning about some of the pre-election
rhetoric from Netanyahus Likud party, which tried to rally right-wing
support by saying that Arab Israeli voters were “coming out in droves.”</p>
<p>“The United States and this administration is deeply concerned about rhetoric
that seeks to marginalize Arab Israeli citizens,” White House press secretary
Josh Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One. “It undermines the values
and democratic ideals that have been important to our democracy and an
important part of what binds the United States and Israel together.”</p>
<p>Earnest added that Netan­yahus election-eve disavowal of a two-state
solution for Israelis and Palestinians would force the administration to
reconsider its approach to peace in the region.</p>
<div></div>
<p>Over the longer term, a number of analysts say that Obama and Netan­yahu
will seek to play down the friction between them and point to areas of
continuing cooperation on military and economic issues.</p>
<p>“Both sides are going to want to turn down the rhetoric,” Danin said.
“But it is also a structural problem. They have six years of accumulated
history. Thats going to put limits on how far they can go together.”</p>
<p>The first substantive test could come as early as this month, when the
United States hopes that it can finish hammering out the framework of an
agreement with Iran.</p>
<p>Netanyahu strongly warned against making a “bad deal” during his March
3 address to a joint meeting of Congress, an appearance arranged by Republican
congressional leaders and criticized by the Obama administration for making
U.S.-Israeli relations partisan on both sides so close to the Israeli election.</p>
<p>If a deal is reached and does not pass muster with Netanyahu, he is likely
to work with congressional Republicans to try to scuttle the accord.</p>
<p>“The Republicans have said they will do what they can to block a deal,
and the prime minister has already made clear that he will work with the
Republicans against the president,” Indyk said. “Thats where a clash could
come, and its coming very quickly.”</p>
<p>The second test — talks with Palestinians — could be even more difficult.
In his September 2013 address to the United Nations, Obama hailed signs
of hope.</p>
<p>“Already, Israeli and Palestinian leaders have demonstrated a willingness
to take significant political risks,” Obama said in his speech. Palestinian
Authority President Mahmoud Abbas “has put aside efforts to shortcut the
pursuit of peace and come to the negotiating table. Prime Minister Netanyahu
has released Palestinian prisoners and reaffirmed his commitment to a Palestinian
state.”</p>
<p>Today, <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2015/03/18/what-netanyahus-election-victory-means-for-the-palestinians/"
title="www.washingtonpost.com">the signals could not differ more</a>. The
Palestinian Authority has said that after it joins the International Criminal
Court at The Hague on April 1, it will press war crimes charges against
Israel for the bloody Gaza conflict during the summer. Israel, which controls
tax receipts, has pledged to punish the Palestinian Authority by freezing
its tax revenue.</p>
<p>The United States, which gives hundreds of millions of dollars of economic
aid to the Palestinian Authority, would be caught in the middle. It has
been trying to persuade both sides to stand down, but Netanyahus declaration
that there would be no Palestinian state on his watch makes that more difficult.</p>
<p>“Now its hard to see what could persuade the Palestinians” to hold up
on their ICC plans, Indyk said. “That has nothing to do with negotiations,
but if both sides cant be persuaded to back down, then they will be on
a trajectory that could lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority
because it cant pay wages anymore.</p>
<p>“That could be an issue forced onto the agenda about the same time as
a potential nuclear deal.”</p>
