Israel is supporting Obama publicly but are very concerned with his conduct of policy on the Syrian question. He is regarded as a weak leader (a view held by some other world leaders).
Well-placed Israeli sources told Fox News they "get it" as to why the president felt the need to cloak his planned military strikes in congressional legitimacy. But they regard the way he went about his decision-making in this instance as erratic, unnerving to them, and a bad omen for what the Israelis regard as the sine qua non of their foreign policy: the looming showdown with Iran over its nuclear program.
