Israeli-US Ties on a Bad Place

On the eve of the P5 +1 talks resuming tomorrow on the political director level, then move to the Deputy level, and conclude at the Foreign Minister level.  Reuters has a piece on the fractured US Israeli relationship, stemming from a couple things: Netanyahu's planned address to a joint session of Congress, the talks, and more recently, US allegations of Israeli leaks intended to undermine the talks.  "Israel has always been careful to navigate between the Republican and Democrat camps. The planned address, however, has driven a rare wedge between Netanyahu's government and some congressional Democrats. Some two dozen or more of them plan to boycott the speech, according to unofficial estimates."
