President Obama wants to revive the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, but Israel's new government may not go along. That's if predictions about tomorrow's elections turn out to be true.

Also, Obama's stimulus plan and Republican opposition to it. Is it driving a wedge between a popular new president and his colleagues in Congress?
