The Israel policy is made by the Israel government. Inviting USA president to push the Israel government to make political decisions is very unproductive and it puts USA in an unwelcome position in the eyes of Arab world too. The Arabs will then expect more and more of this kind of pressure on Israel from the USA, and it will blame USA if they expectation will not be met. Israel government appeasing policies reminds of the old stand the Jewish diaspora took in foreign countries, which opened the door to persecutions and pogroms.
