Senate Republicans have done more harm to the goal of stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons than they have done good.
Another lesson in incompetence in governing from House Republicans.
By a wide margin Americans think it was wrong of the GOP to invite Israel’s Prime Minister to speak to Congress.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is apparently realizing that speaking to Congress may not be a good idea after all.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhu’s speech to Congress is becoming even more partisan, much to the apparent chagrin of the Israelis.
Some Congressional Democrats are considering skipping a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to a Joint Session Of Congress.
By inviting Prime Minister Netanyahu to address Congress, Republicans are damaging the U.S. relationship with Israel.
My latest for The National Interest, “Obama’s Paris Blunder: Part of a Much Bigger Problem,” has posted.
Some are criticizing the President for not going to Paris for yesterday’s rally.
The two sides in Gaza keep extending the humanitarian cease fire, but remain miles apart on the major issues dividing them.
A glimmer of hope in Gaza is quickly snuffed out.
The Israeli public if overwhelmingly behind the war in Gaza, and that means it will probably continue for awhile.
An effort yesterday to bring about a cease fire in Gaza came to naught when Hamas rejected the proposal.
Contrary to the oft-repeated slogan, the United States has negotiated with terrorists before. And we will do it again.
There’s little evidence for the conservative contention that the President has damaged America’s position in the world.
Middle East peace talks are apparently in such bad shape that the U.S. is thinking of releasing Jonathan Pollard as an incentive to Israel.

Secretary of State Kerry becomes the latest American official to wade into the Middle East’s longest lasting quagmire.
In another sign that things may not be going so well between Washington and Jerusalem, President Obama will not be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he’s in the United States.
An attack on Iran’s nuclear program would be far more complicated than a one-off attack.
A new IAEA report may make an Israeli strike on Iran in the near future more likely than it has ever been.
Lt Gen Benny Gantz says Iran “is going step by step to the place where it will be able to decide whether to manufacture a nuclear bomb. It hasn’t yet decided to go the extra mile.”
The differences between the parties when it comes to Iran are far less substantial than the candidate’s rhetoric would suggest.
Mitt Romney’s view of the ideal relationship between the United States and Israel is, at the very least. quite odd, and, potentially, dangerous.
Obama to Sarkozy on Netanyahu: “You’re sick of him — but I have to deal with him every day!”
It’s time for another round of speculation about Iran and its nuclear program.
We may have entered a new and dangerous phase of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
President Obama explained his position on the Palestinian statehood resolution today, but one wonders if anyone listened.
Rick Perry’s speech criticizing the President’s policies in the Middle East raised more questions than it answered.
Foolishly, the Palestinians are going forward with their effort to get Palestinian statehood recognized by the United Nations.
The United States is pressuring the Netanyahu government to move off its hard line.
President Obama doubled down in his speech before this year’s AIPAC conference. Why he did so only he understands.

Every new report out of Iran seems to bring us closer to the moment when Israel has decided it’s heard enough. What happens if that day actually happens ?
