Since early 2011, the winds unleashed by the Arab Spring have cast a chill over the Middle East, leaving Israel grappling with a radically transformed region where it believes its options are limited and poor. By the fall of 2011, with its Cairo embassy ransacked, its ambassador to Turkey expelled and the Palestinians seeking statehood recognition at the United Nations, Israel found itself increasingly isolated.

In addition to its longstanding conflicts with its neighbors, Israel has been roiled by protest movements focusing on domestic concerns, like a housing shortage and rising inequality.

Mr. Netanyahu’s relationship with President Obama has been notably strained. The tensions began in 2009 when Mr. Netanyahu rebuffed Mr. Obama’s request for an extended moratorium on construction in occupied territories, the issue that eventually stalled the short-lived peace talks with the Palestinian Authority that began in September 2010.
In September 2012, Mr. Netanyahu harshly criticized the Obama administration over recent statements that the United States would not set deadlines or draw “red lines” for Iran over its disputed uranium enrichment activities, calling such comments a signal to the Iranians that they could build atomic bombs with impunity.
In an hourlong telephone conversation on Sept. 11, Mr. Obama had rebuffed a proposal by Mr. Netanyahu to make the size of Iran’s stockpile of close-to-bomb-grade uranium the threshold for a military strike by the United States against its nuclear facilities.

Tali MissirlianThis names a few of Israel's actions as of Fall 2011. For example, an Israeli raid on a Turkish ship, which led to Turkey expelling the Israeli ambassador. It mentions Israeli opposition to the Palestinian authority President and also an Israeli threat to suspend the transfer of $100 million to Palestinian authority. It talks about the release of 1,000 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli soldier that had been held captive for five years. Lastly it talks about Isralis protesting inflated housing prices in Tel Aviv.
