(JTA) From the drive for Israeli-Palestinian peace to nuclear talks with Iran, Hillary Rodham Clinton is endorsing President Obamas Israel-related positions.

Clinton, who was Obamas secretary of state during his first term, spoke Friday night with Haim Saban, the Israeli-American entertainment mogul who through the Brookings Institution convenes an eponymous annual forum of Israeli and American leaders. Saban has been a backer of Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton.

Her talk was notable for the degree to which she endorsed Obamas policies. Clinton derided perceptions that U.S.-Israel tensions had become tense under Obama.

Nobody can argue with the commitment of this administration to Israels security, she said when Saban pressed her on the perceived tensions.

Clinton, a likely contender for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, has been perceived since leaving the government as distancing herself from Obama notably in her strident defense of Israel this summer during its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Obama officials criticized some Israeli actions as excessive.

She forcefully endorsed the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks aggressively advanced by the Obama administration and resisted by the two sides. Their absence, Clinton said, created dangers for Israel and leaves a vacuum that is filled by bad actors, threats.

Clinton deemed as essential the two-state solution sought by her successor as secretary of state, John Kerry.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

(CNN) -- Lost amidst the predictable clutter of the "will-he-or won't-she" questions about whether Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton will actually run for the presidency is an unexpected development: a hint of authenticity.

Turns out that political purgatoryeven if temporarycan actually spark a genuine conversation with the public about what it takes to be president, and what goes into deciding whether you want to run.

Here's Hillary on herself: "The job is unforgiving in many ways, so I think you need people around you who will kid you, make fun of you. ... You can lose touch with what's real, what's authentic."

Gloria Borger

Here's Jeb on his decision: "Can I do it where the sacrifice to my family is tolerable?...It's a pretty ugly business right now. There's a level under which I would never subjugate my family because that's my organizing principle. That's my life."

So while Chris Christie won't answer questions about immigration and Ted Cruz is threatening to block presidential nominations and Rand Paul is blaming the tragic Eric Garner death on cigarette taxes, there's another more personal and revealing conversation going on about the presidency and how to get there, and we ought to pay some attention.

You can lose touch with what's real, what's authentic. Hillary Clinton

Not just because it's coming from Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, although that is a part of it. After all, Hillary's outside support network is up and running, even if she isn't officially yet. And while Jeb has no campaign infrastructure or organization, his closest advisers are having enough meetings with enough operatives to send enough signals that it's a very live, real, even likely, possibility. Though Jeb's advisers tell me he hasn't made a decision, the process over the last six months sure looks like it leads to a presidential campaign.

So all the cheerleaders need is the final hand signal.
