For example, Israeli public opinion could become galvanized in support of peace in the wake of the Jerusalem address, or US Secretary of State John Kerry could make headway in initiating talks.

如果发生了环境变化这一不可能事件，奥巴马可以以积极和平缔造者的姿态介入，他的此次以色列之行将具有历史意义，成为以巴关系的转折点。比如，以色列民意可能因耶路撒冷演讲而被激发起来，支持和平；或者美国国务卿克里能够在引导谈判方面顺利前进。利夫尼可能在以色列政府中获得重要地位；劳动党可能取代犹太人家园党加入新执政联盟；内塔尼亚胡的态度可能因追求自己的烙印而发生改变。
