Obama and the Hamaus

Obama has repeatedly said, "There is only one president at a time." when asked about the Israel war. But when he speaks of the economy, he has plans and a large staff of people working on it. When he talks about energy independence, has people working on that. He is going to be sworn in as president of the United States on January 21. What is he going to say then about foreign policy. Is he going to put presure on Israel for them to withdraw from the Gaza strip? It seems to me he can be very protective of Israel and give them encouragement and support. He surely would not say to the Hamas, "Just hang in until I am president."
