Benjamin Netanyahu

With the dust having settled following Obama's New York meetings with Netanyahu and Abbas, a sober assessment of what actually happened, and what may happen next, is in order.

Break down Netanyahu's speech to the UN and you have more fiction than fact, albeit fiction that has very adeptly been spun by successive Israeli governments into the lexicon of our political language.

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the U.S. to take action over a newly revealed Iranian nuclear facility in a phone co...

In his speech to the UN General Assembly, President Obama provided the direction for a new approach to foreign affairs, calling for regional initiatives with multilateral participation. We have an idea for just such an initiative.

Terrorism remains central to Israel's explanations of many of the most morally problematic of its policies, including the siege of Gaza and restrictions on Palestinians in the West Bank.

It's hard to spend any time with Israeli President Shimon Peres and remain pessimistic about the possibility of peace.

I could only shake my head in amazement as I listened to President Obama at the U.N. trying to put a brave face on his administration's failure to convince Israel to freeze all settlement activities.

President Obama has just articulated the United States' goals to the world. Time for the Israelis and Palestinians to dust off all their permanent status plans that have been gathering dust for more than a decade.

JERUSALEM -- I arrived in Tel Aviv at 6:30 Sunday evening and went straight from the airport to a charming restaurant in Jaffa to have dinner with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, where I asked him to compare George W. Bush's leadership to Obama's when it comes to Israel. "I'm an ABB," he said. "Anyone But Bush. Obama is investing a lot of his political capital in the peace process, and it's important that we don't waste this moment." Wednesday morning I'm meeting with President Shimon Peres. Coming on the heels of yesterday's tripartite meeting between Obama, Netanyahu, and Abbas, we will discuss, among other things, the state of US/Israel relations, Israeli settlements on the West Bank, and Iran's nuclear program. If there is anything you'd like me to ask President Peres, please put your questions in the comments section.

Obama's struggle for Middle East peace, through an end to the occupation, can actually end up being another unifying factor among diverse groups of Americans.

After decades of using the plight of the Palestinians as a useful stick with which to beat the West and as an excuse for their own domestic illegitimacies, Arab leaders finally need to be held to account.

Seldom have the vital signs of Arab-Israeli diplomacy read more bleak. Is a permanently broken peace process between the Israelis and Palestinians a foregone conclusion?

Renown South African Jurist Richard Goldstone has completed a comprehensive report on the war crimes committed during the Israeli war started against Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Nov. 4, 2008.

Those of us who covered Israel's three-week Operation Cast Lead in Gaza are not surprised by the findings of the U.N. commission's report accusing both Israel and Hamas of war crimes.

There is a sense that the transgressions of Israelis are so grave that they have lost their right to grieve over their own very real tragedies.
