Abstract
This study dealt with the United States foreign policy towards the Palestinian cause in the
period of President Barack Obama. Where, and after President George W. Bush term, a
new foreign policy emerged towards the world in general, and towards the Palestinian
issue in particular. In the last decade, the United States tried to restore some balance in the
international arena, it became more assertive and determined to revive its past, reclaim its
role and prestige, and maintain its security and sovereignty by adopting a new foreign
policy.
The political decision-making in the United States is processed within a set of powerful
institutions that comprise the American political system, and they are governed by
relations of cooperation and conflict for the sake of political decision-making and to
achieve its objectives, the conflict between the executive authority, represented by the
President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the legislative authority represented by
the Congress, is considered a model for conflict of interest between these institutions and
powers, in addition to the fact that the military establishment play an important role in the
political decision-making in the United States because of the many military commitments
the United States has in different places of the world.
These institutions are connected to a number of influential forces that pressure the
decision-making process in the United States, pushing to make decisions that serve the
ambitions and interests of such forces. Therefore the institutions find themselves linked to
an intellectual system that form the bases of the US strategic thinking that revolves around
a number of factors, most importantly trade, profitability and power factors.
Having that said, the possibility of political maneuver in the decision-making process the
US President Barack Obama has is very limited as it is associated with the state overall
vision, this led the Obama administration's to be unable to find or help in finding a final
solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
