While Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza stemmed (somewhat) the constant rocket firing from that Hamas-controlled zone, Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon have been complacent by comparison. A number of informed reports indicate Hezbollah, a terrorist group as well as a political organization, has used the time to rebuild its military capacity. According to published reports, sectarian tensions are increasing between Shia and Sunni Muslim groups inside Lebanon.

[Shimon Peres], 84, is the longest serving politician in Israel's history. As a Knesset member for the last 48 years, he served as prime minister, defence minister and held other portfolios. He is credited with forging Israel's relations with France and Germany, building Israel's nuclear facility in Dimona, founding the aircraft and electronic industries, and was the driving force behind the 1993 Oslo Accord, for which he shared a Nobel Peace Prize with the late Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat. Although he'll be unable to pursue independent policies, I can see Peres devoting his energies to five main areas: advancing peace between Israel and the Palestinians; fostering open and secret economic ties with the Arab world; promoting civility in Israeli society; narrowing social gaps between...

In the past, women in 'Ain al-Qasis worked in the home or on the family farm. Their skills were essential to their families' well-being. A very few women, most of them single or widowed, supported themselves through careers such as dressmaking; several married women supplemented their husbands' incomes through activities such as knitting, crocheting, or making kishk (a soup mix made from yogurt and wheat). Today, most married women are still housewives, although they may also engage in some sort of charitable activity. However, work on the farm is a thing of the past. This shift reflects, in part, the diversification of the local economy and increased hiring of day labor. Moreover, attitudes have changed. Farm work is thought of as hard, dirty physical work that is unsuitable for women;...

French President Nicolas Sarkozy saw in [Michel Suleiman]'s election a kind of "investment" in a new geopolitical dynamic that would see Syria and Israel negotiating a peace deal that would lead to the return of the Golan Heights to Syria. This, in turn, could lead to the end of Syria's support of Hezbollah and the Palestinian radical groups in Damascus. According to reliable diplomatic sources, Sarkozy promised generous political and economic "perks" to Syria. Sarkozy even said that should a consensus candidate be elected in Lebanon, he would be prepared to visit both Damascus and Beirut to crown this success of French diplomacy. At that stage, both the U.S. and France lost their patience with Syria. They realized that President [Bashar Assad] was unwilling or unable to "deliver" on hi...

[Nancy Pelosi] has now theoretically tipped the balance in favour of Syria. Before landing in Damascus, she told reporters that "the road to solving Lebanon's problems passes through Damascus." The statement caused a shock in Beirut. Michael Young, the comment editor of the Daily Star, called Pelosi a "dilettante" and attributed her statement to "inexperience." Indeed, the statement ignored the spirit and letter of successive UN Security Council resolutions and undermined American, French, Saudi and Egyptian efforts to end Syria's meddling in Lebanese affairs. The Israeli part in Pelosi's discussions in Damascus caused some "inconvenience" in Jerusalem, which was immediately clarified. During her discussions in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert did authorize Pelosi to tell Assad th...
