Is there a disconnect here?
Jewish leaders urge Obama to visit Israel
Sixty prominent leaders and thinkers of Jewish people take part in two-day NY event organized by the JPPPI, stress US president's low approval rating in Jewish state perceived as warning sign reflecting harmful trend that should be addressed […]
The two main challenges from the Israeli point of view—the Iranian threat and the Arab-Israeli conflict—were identified as carrying a double potential: On the one hand, strengthening the friendship between Jerusalem and Washington, but on the other, creating tension and friction between the two capitals while the Jewish community finds itself frustrated in the middle.
So, the White House urges Israel, Palestinians to resume negotiations
US urges end of settlement activity, prevention of terror following meeting between Secretary of State Clinton, Obama on stalled Mideast peace talks. Washington source says negotiations still far from resuming.
Abbas calls Obama and says (cries) he is quitting the game because Israel won’t come to the Peace Table!
Palestinian paper says Clinton due for visit
Al-Quds reports US secretary of state to arrive in Middle East within coming days as part of peace efforts.
Quickly followed by an American news release:
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to arrive in Israel on motzei shabbos. […] in line with reports of an impending visit released by PA leaders in Ramallah earlier in the week. US Mideast envoy George Mitchell will be arriving in Israel on erev shabbos in preparation of the secretary’s arrival on the following day. Ms. Clinton will be stopping to meet with Arab leaders ahead of her meeting with Mr. Netanyahu.
However,
[If you read between the lines: Abbas faces being overthrown [by Hamas and Fatah], he calls Obama ‘to say he’s quitting’ and seeks advice; Obama tells him not ‘to quit,’ don’t worry, because I’ll send a ‘delegation’ to [stop the riots by their mere presence] dialog with Netanyahu again and put more pressure on those Jews.]
But, 60% of Israelis don't trust Obama
War and Peace Index reveals 55% of Israeli Jews believe US president leans in favor of Palestinians, while only 5% say he supports Israeli position. source
Is Netanyahu turning the tide again?
Washington caught off guard
by Netanyahu visit
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's intention to visit Washington for the annual UJC General Assembly has surprised many on Capitol Hill and was apparently not coordinated with the Obama administration. An American source told Ynet Sunday that news of the visit had been received with reserved astonishment. […] Sources in Jerusalem say Netanyahu did indeed decide to attend the GA without first consulting President Barack Obama, but that since the latter would also be present at the event the two may meet in any case….The prime minister's visit is scheduled to take place on November 8-10. source

*A little analysis of Lady Macbeth:
Lady Macbeth fulfills her role among the nobility and is well respected like Macbeth. King Duncan calls her "our honored hostess." She is loving to her husband but at the same time very ambitious, as shown by her immediate determination […] to be king. This outcome will benefit her and her husband equally. She immediately concludes that "the fastest way" ... to become king is by murdering .... Lady Macbeth's immediate thoughts may make her appear as thoroughly irreligiously cold and ambitious, but this is not so. To prepare for what she feels must be done she calls on evil spirits ….
