There is a lot of this story that is untold, and a lot of this story that is yet to be told.... President Obama seems to be courting the UN, The Alliance of Civilizations, and Arab leaders, and alienating Israel.

"Netanyahu: Israel and U.S. have resolved settlements row
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero last Thursday that talks between Israel and the United States over construction in the settlements on the West Bank had ended.
"We solved the matter of the settlements with the Americans," Netanyahu told his Spanish counterpart.
"I cannot say more than that. If you are interested in hearing more details, ask in Washington," added Netanyahu.
.........this is the first time that Netanyahu has said that the issue of the settlements, which is the main bone of contention between the Obama administration and Israel, has been solved.
Zapatero told Netanyahu of his visit to the White House two days before his arrival in Jerusalem. He said he was obsessed with Obama, and that there will never be another chance where a man who professes values such as his will be president, and everyone must help him realize his vision.
Spain will assume the EU presidency on January 1."
The Alliance of Civilizations (AoC) initiative was proposed by the President of the Spanish Government, Jos� Luis Rodríguez Zapatero at the 59th General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in 2005. It was co-sponsored by the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
Its ironic that the same day Assad in Syria calls for EU to step-up pressure on the Peace Talks it comes out in the news that he's moved 25% of his long range missiles to Lebanon.

That really tells us how he thinks the peace talks are going to go.
Isaiah 17 looks closer to fulfillment all the time. I won't be planning to vacation in Damascus or along the eastern shores of the Dead Sea this year.
Isaiah 17
1The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
4And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
5And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the LORD God of Israel.
7At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
