What does it mean for Israel, that President Obama has been given the Nobel Peace Prize? What new pressures does it bring for her as it surely must? The Lord is allowing all this.
This article I have linked to below, is seen from a Jewish News site/newspaper perspective. I am sure there are others who might feel differently, but for now I have this one. You are most welcome to give me links to different Jewish Views – it will be very interesting to watch what unfolds from this.

It is hard to believe that Israeli government ministers jumped for joy when they heard the news, the words of congratulations from President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak notwithstanding.
From Jerusalem’s point of view the prize could be problematic on two counts: the first in relation to the diplomatic process with the Palestinians, and the second having to do with Iran.
Regarding the peace process, an Obama crowned with the peace prize will be even more difficult to say “no” to than an Obama without the peace prize.
More difficult, but, of course, not impossible.
