Editor's Note: With conditions ripe for Benjamin Netanyahu's consolidation of power, Biden sends a green light for Israel to attack Iran. The United States has no credibility in enforcing contracts (especially the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty) and has committed fraud through the IAEA in an attempt to accuse Iran of being in breach of the treaty. Finally, the Obama administration colludes with Israel to proceed with bombing nuclear power plants near crowded cities with U.S. troops in harms way.

Some interesting political poker is playing out in Israel.
Just as it looked like Israel was about to have early elections, PM Benjamin Netanyahu has formed a government of national unity with the left-wing Kadima opposition party.
Jodi Rugoren at The New York Times reports:
There are a lot of moving parts here.
Reuters points out that a broad coalition, which Netanyahu now enjoys, gives much more flexibility on Iran decisions.
The move also isolates the Labor party, which was likely to make gains in coming elections.

Some interesting political poker is playing out in Israel.
Jodi Rugoren at The New York Times reports:
The unity agreement came hours after the Israeli Parliament took the first steps toward dissolving itself ahead of elections scheduled for Sept. 4 rather than at the end of the government’s term in October 2013. With his coalition divided over how to replace a law expiring Aug. 1 that exempted many ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service, Mr. Netanyahu had said in a speech to the convention of his right-leaning Likud Party on Sunday night that he wanted early elections to avoid the instability of a campaign atmosphere stretching over more than a year.
But even as the political establishment here was kicking into high gear in recent days, leaders of the Likud and Kadima parties had been in secret negotiations that culminated at midnight Tuesday at the prime minister’s home in Jerusalem, where he and Mr. Mofaz signed a contract, according to Mr. Harel. The two men then went to the Parliament building around 2:30 a.m., where they met with lawmakers from their parties, who voted to approve the deal, officials said. A news conference was scheduled for noon in Jerusalem.
