There is real potential for the present moment to be a turning point in US policy in the Middle East. Specifically, while both Israel and Saudi Arabia will continue to be close allies, tailoring US policy to their needs and even whims is something Obama and Kerry seem to be trying to change. Israel and SA are both fighting back, with Israel breaking out the big lobbying guns. Chances for success seem slim, but there is real reason for optimism for at least an improvement in matters.
