Congressional elections are coming up at the end of this year, and Olmert
needs to make sure that even if Bush loses his majority, the U.S. Congress
continues to support Israel as it has until now. Because this is where the
power lies. This is where the commitments, the guarantees, the budgets and
the pledges come from. When we say Israel's fate depends on U.S. support,
it's not just the president we need behind us - we need Congress, too.
Some of the experts worry that Bush is a weak strategic post to lean on these
days. But with all his troubles and his lack of popularity, it is worth
remembering that he will be president 24 hours a day until January 2009. In
that span of time, he can be of tremendous help to Israel. Whether he gives
us a letter acknowledging the settlement blocs or not, it doesn't matter. The
main thing is for there to be complete coordination on matters relating to
Iran and al-Qaida, both of which have declared Israel a major target.
