In 2009, Benjamin Netanyahu and Barack Obama came to power, leading to fierce confrontations between the two men over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While Obama pushed for a freeze on Israeli settlement construction, his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, tried to get Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas to the negotiating table. The viewer is taken along until the moment that the talks finally fail. Hamas leaders and Israeli officials also talk about the remarkable agreement in which Netanyahu released more than a thousand Palestinian prisoners in exchange for one Israeli hostage.
