The Palestinian PM: Israeli is not fulfilling it`s obligations
IMEMC - During a speech delivered in the US capital Washington, Fayyad criticized Israel for requesting bids to build 300 additional housing units in Jerusalem during the week that followed the Annapolis conference, as well as not easing restrictions on military checkpoints in the West Bank which led to Israel receiving a rare reprimand from the United States government. Fayyad demanded a removal of the Israeli military checkpoints in the West Bank "the checkpoints cannot disappear overnight but why not start the process."

 Challenges on the ground threaten progress in negotiations
Gershon Baskin - Jerusalem Post - The bombing in Dimona is only the latest example of the difficulty of Israel in leaving the work of security to the PA alone [but] there are many examples of continued Israeli control over the lives of Palestinians that can easily be removed. For example: a new school being built in the village of Dir Balout near Salfit (a town between Ramallah and Nablus) is facing a demolition order from the Civil Administration because of various bureaucratic issues. Why?

 Israel`s `next logical step`
Ali Abunimah - Electronic Intifada - With its escalation in Gaza and refusal to accept a ceasefire, Israel may be trying to provoke more rocket attacks and force Hamas into abandoning its political strategy altogether to provide the needed pretext to "decapitate" the organization.

 A discussion with Walt and Mersheimer
Wajahat Ali - Counterpunch - A point we make in our book and make all the time is that the Israel Lobby in pushing for unconditional American support for Israel, and in some elements, pushing for hair-brained schemes like invading Iraq, it has been bad for the United States and unintentionally bad for Israel, too. It`s incorrect to see the Lobby as always pro-Israel. A lot of what they are supporting is very bad for Israel.
