The US's effort to fix it's image in the M.I.

Although the two wars and supporting Israel in the Middle East has caused a bad reputation in the Middle East for the US, the US has worked to fix its' image.
One way how the US is trying to improve its' reputation is by pressuring Israel to stop settlement on Palestinian territory. The New York Times states,"The United States had offered Mr. Netanyahu a lucrative package of security and other incentives to agree to a 90-day extension." As you can see, America is trying to pressure Israel to stop the act of settling Palestinian land, which is a huge reason for the instability in the Palestinian-Israeli relationship. This instability causes tumult in other parts of the Middle East, such as Iran.
