So far, they’re happy with Hillary:
She had resoundingly rejected the idea of negotiating with Hamas; she has endorsed the security fence; and she supported a resolution sponsored by Senators Kyl and Lieberman that urged the White House to designate Iran’s revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization, a measure opposed by both Obama and Biden. These stances have won many fans among pro-Israel hawks. "Senator Clinton’s track record during her years in the senate has been outstanding," says Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. "In addition to the public record, she has done many things quietly without seeking recognition that were significant in regards to the Middle East and other international concerns."
Eli Lake explores whether this sets her up for conflict with Jim Jones. It will be one of the more fascinating internal debates of the Obama administration. Having both Clinton and Jones gives Obama more freedom of action, and more leverage both within his administration and beyond it.
