The Palestinian Unity is achieved…Netanyahu is lost
It was a surprise that the Palestinian people was waiting for since a long time and it brought back the self-confidence which both the Palestinian people and [singlepic id=533 w=320 h=240 float=right]leadership needed for the next stage. Fatah and Hamas declared yesterday a mutual agreement to end a division that is considered the longest and bloodiest between Palestinians. The new Egyptian leadership invested a lot in reaching the agreement that brought the Palestinian case back on the agenda of the International community and specifically Israel and the American government.
Disagreement between the PA and the American Administration
It seems that the disagreement between the U.S administration and the Palestinian Authority is clear now. In his remarks to Newsweek, Palestinian President[singlepic id=531 w=320 h=240 float=right] Mahmoud Abbas seemed desperate and angry of the change in President Obama’s policy with the Palestinians. President Abbas said that Barack Obama led him on and criticized the American administration for the sudden change in its position about the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.
President Mahmoud Abbas said that President Obama was the one who suggested a full Israeli settlement freeze in the West Bank but failed to oblige officials

Is it for the sake of protecting Libyan civilians or the Libyan Oil?
The UN security council made its decision..and the joined American, French, English and Italian forces started their campaign against Libya. President [singlepic id=504 w=320 h=240 float=right]Obama did not seem to be really happy to declare the participation of the American forces in the military campaign and tried to introduce the American role as a supporter rather than a leader in the attack against Tripoli.

The Present and the Future of the Israeli Palestinian Conflict
So where are the Palestinians and Israelis going to? Do they still have a chance to achieve something through negotiations or the current indicators show that[singlepic id=435 w=320 h=240 float=right] there is no way that peace can be achieved? What is it that both peoples want and what is the effect that both leaderships are leaving on their peoples? Is the two states solution valid or it stopped to be vital choice?
Many questions that can be easily answered but many prefer not to because of the difficult answers that would be found out. The International community is almost convinced that the peace talks failed and that it is impossible that both sides would reach a solution in the next year. The American administration
Peace talks? Hope or is it the End?
The peace process seems to be reaching its last moments between the Israelis and the Palestinians. [singlepic id=420 w=320 h=240 float=right] All the attempts, which were made to make a kind of an improvement between the two sides, brought no outcome at all. The American administration that was sure a couple of years ago that peace can be achieved in a short period realized that the situation is more difficult in reality.
The Israeli current government continues to gain time by turning the situation from a negotiations process in order to reach a solution into talks about whether to freeze the unlawful settlements building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. On the ground, the Israeli government continues to work and
President Obama’s next challenges
“It’s going to remain a priority for this administration. And obviously, we’re going to work hand in glove with Congress to advance direct negotiations and to [singlepic id=408 w=320 h=240 float=right]ultimately reach a settlement,” Mark Toner said while giving a statement from the U.S State Department regarding the peace process in the Middle East.

The American Promise and the Palestinian State
The Arab league and the Palestinian leadership did not react in any way to the Israeli decision to continue the settlements building in the West Bank. The [singlepic id=396 w=320 h=240 float=right]reason the Arabs did not make any move was their will to give the American government a month so the latter would go through the November elections without pressures.
The day after the 4th of November holds a great importance in the eyes of the Arab leadership that hopes to see a change in the American policy towards Israel in order to push the peace process between the Palestinians and the Israelis. Many Arabs from the opponents of the Arab regimes accuse the Arab
