ItwasHalloweennightinJerusalem,andBenjaminNetanyahucamedressedasapeacemaker."We'repreparedtostartpeacetalksimmediately,"thenotoriouslyreluctantIsraeliPrimeMinisterproclaimed,withU.S.SecretaryofStateHillaryClintonstandingathisside,poker-faced."Ithinkweshould...getonitandgetwithit."
Itwasaploy,ofcourse.ThePalestiniansweretangledupinthemselves,yetagain.Theyhadelectionslooming,andtheirleader,MahmoudAbbas,hadtohangtough:
hewasdemandingatotalfreezetoIsraelisettlement-buildingontheWestBank—whichwaspreciselywhattheObamaAdministrationhadpreviouslysaiditfavored.Netanyahuwasofferingapartialfreeze,notincludingnewsettlementsinEastJerusalem,thedesiredcapitalofafuturePalestinianstate.ThiswasanonstarterforthePalestinians,butithadtheholographicglowofastepforward.Itwasan"unprecedented"offer,Netanyahutrumpeted,withthejoyofachessmasterspringingatrap.
ItwasatoughmomentforClinton,playingsecondfiddleattheBibi-does-Gandhishow.PresidentBarackObamahadsoftenedhislanguageonthesettlementsafewweeksearlier:
insteadofatotalfreeze,hehadtalkedaboutIsraeli"restraint"insettlement-building.AndnowClintonseemedtocementtheAdministration'sretreat,agreeingthatNetanyahu'sproposalwas,indeed,"unprecedented,"eventhoughtheU.S.stillfavoredatotalfreeze.Themostimportantthing,sheadded,wasforthepartiestogettothetableasquicklyaspossible.TheonuswasbackonthePalestinians—andthePalestiniansquicklyexpressedoutrageattheObamaAdministration'sretreat.TheirArabneighborssoonjoinedin,causingClintontobacktracktwodayslater,tellingreporterstheIsraeliplan"fallsfarshort"ofU.S.expectations,althoughshestillinsistedoncallingit"unprecedented,"whichwasneitherdiplomaticnorwise.
SuddenlytheObamaAdministrationseemedwobblyontheMiddleEast;clearly,ClintonhadbeentoobullishonNetanyahu'sproposal(whichhadbeennegotiatedovermonthswithMiddleEastenvoyGeorgeMitchellandwasseen,privately,bytheAmericansasrealprogress).ButtheAdministration'smissionwastogetthepartiesintopeacetalkswithoutpreconditions.TheIsraeliswerenowinfavoroftalks.ThePalestiniansweresettingpreconditions.AndClintonhadviolatedanessentialruleofherjob:
boringisalmostalwaysbetter.
Clinton'sThreeQualitiesForthepast40years,theawkwardMiddleEastpressconferencehashelpeddefinethejobofSecretaryofState.YougotoJerusalemorRamallah;youstandthere"guardedlyoptimistic"inpublic;inprivate,youtrytomoveacomma,buttheIsraelisorPalestiniansmoveasemicolontoblockyourcomma.Theresultisalmostalwaysthesame:

—whichthenbecomesanotherdeadend.
ThejobofSecretaryofStateismorethanklessthanglamorous;insomeways,theDepartmentofState,anobleantique,isstilltryingtocometotermswiththeinventionofthetelephone.InanerawhenTwitterhaiku-messagingrules,diplomacymovesatthespeed,andrequiresthenuancedcomplexity,ofliterature.PowerhasdriftedfromStatetotheNationalSecurityCouncilandthePentagon,especiallyinwartime.OnlyafewofClinton'srecentpredecessorshavedistinguishedthemselves.HenryKissinger,aNationalSecurityAdviserwhobelatedlybecameSecretaryofState,wasRichardNixon'sschizophrenicalterego;GeorgeShultzwasastrongpolicyvoiceintheReaganAdministration;JamesBakerhadcloutbecausehewasGeorgeH.W.Bush'sbestfriendandaworld-classdealmaker.Mostoftheothershavebeenfrustratedorforgettable.AndyetthisisHillaryClintonwe'retalkingabout—thesecondmostpopularAmericanintheworld,aneternallycompellingandsupremelytalentedcharacter,thesubjectofconstantspeculation,awalkingheadline.Herverypresenceinthejobmakesitcrucialoncemore.
