U.S. Can't Get Arabs to Normalizing Israel Ties -Barak Ravid & Cnaan Liphshiz
The U.S. administration has not been successful in securing commitments from Arab countries to take steps toward normalizing relations with Israel, a senior source in Jerusalem said. The source said Obama's recent meeting with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia did not produce a commitment to encourage the other Arab states to begin normalization.
"In such a situation, the Americans can't continue demanding gestures only from Israel, such as the demand that Israel freeze settlement construction," the source said.

Is "Tough Love" for Israel in America's Best Interest? -Ari Shavit
[T]he question the White House ought to be asking itself is whether riding roughshod over Israel serves its goals. The answer is unequivocal: no.
It is making even moderate Arabs unwilling to contribute anything to advancing the diplomatic process. And without a significant Arab contribution, there will be no diplomatic process.
