Will the U.S. mid-term elections have an affect on U.S. foreign policy?

After the changes that will occur as a result of the recent elections here in the United States, it is interesting to ponder what implications they will have in regard to U.S. foreign policy in regard to Israel.

The looming battles on domestic and economic issues between the White House and the newly elected congress could cause the President to look outside of our borders for political victories before his reelection bid in 2012. Achieving a Mid-East peace would be a major accomplishment for any politician. Hopefully if this approach is taken it will not lead the U.S. to place pressure on Israel to surrender land.
