		<description><![CDATA[By George Friedman
During the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign, now-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said that like all U.S. presidents, Barack Obama would face a foreign policy test early in his presidency if elected. That test is now here.
His test comprises two apparently distinct challenges, one in Afghanistan and one in Iran. While different problems, they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Almost unnoticed, Binyamin Netanyahu won a major victory last week when Barack Obama backed down on a signature policy initiative. This about-face suggests that U.S.-Israel relations are no longer headed for the disaster I have been fearing.
 
Four months ago, the new U.S. administration unveiled a policy that suddenly placed great emphasis on stopping the growth [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What I dubbed the Obama administration&#8217;s &#8220;rapid and harsh turn against Israel&#8221; has had three quick, predictable, and counter-productive results. These point to further difficulties ahead.
First result: Barack Obama&#8217;s decision to get tough with Israel translates into escalating Palestinian demands on Israel. In early July, Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas and Saeb Erekat, his top [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Avigdor Lieberman became foreign minister of Israel yesterday. He celebrated his inauguration with a maiden speech that news reports indicate left his listeners grimacing, squirming, and aghast. The BBC, for example, informs us that his words prompted &#8220;his predecessor Tzipi Livni to interrupt and diplomats to shift uncomfortably.&#8221;
Â 
Too bad for them â€“ the speech leaves [...]]]></description>

JERUSALEM &#8211; Israel&#8217;s new hard-line foreign minister delivered a scathing critique of Mideast peace efforts Wednesday, rejecting the past year of U.S.-led negotiations and telling a room crowded with cringing diplomats that concessions to the Palestinians only invite war.
Avigdor Lieberman&#8217;s first speech since taking office, along with accusations by the moderate Palestinian president [...]]]></description>

The Palestinian movement called instead for international pressure on Israel to force the borders open to relieve the humanitarian crisis after last month&#8217;s war.
