Dear Doves,

At the beginning of the meeting, Netanyahu will hand Obama what the Prime Minister’s Office called a “symbolic gift” (symbolic, presumably, because it’s full of meaning but of little practical value): a gold-coated 0.04 sq.mm. nano-chip bearing the Israeli and US declarations of independence, etched side-by-side to a depth of 0.00002 mm.

[It sure is full of meaning]

On Wednesday Mr Obama pledged America's strong support for Israel as he met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.

The two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a two-state solution.

Mr Obama said a central element of securing a lasting peace in the Middle East "must be a strong and secure Jewish state where its security concerns are met, alongside a sovereign and independent Palestinian state".

Mr Netanyahu said his new government, sworn in this week, remained "fully committed to peace and the solution of two states" and that he hoped Mr Obama's visit would "turn a page" in relations with the Palestinians.

[So, the Covenant/Agreement for a Two State Solution (dividing Israel) has been confirmed/reaffirmed.]
