News from The Israel Project

The Daily Beast’s Eli Lake and Josh Rogin reported on Friday that the Obama administration’s diplomacy toward Iran was risking a cascade of new nuclear proliferators across the Middle East, with both Western and Israeli intelligence agencies telling the outlet that Saudi Arabia is developing uranium enrichment infrastructure that has long been ‘considered by arms control experts as a tell-tale sign of a clandestine weapons program.’

Unity talks between the Palestinian Fatah and Hamas factions have reportedly stalled amid Fatah demands – and Hamas refusals – that new elections be held to provide Palestinian lawmakers with a mandate to rule over some of the areas that they claim for a future Palestinian state. The deadlock is a symptom of a fundamental dynamic that has consistently blocked reconciliation efforts: Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and Fatah controls portions of the West Bank, and elections that unified the two territories would by definition require one faction to yield its power.

Iranian media trumpeted on Tuesday that comprehensive talks betweencomputer-virus-iran the P5+1 global powers and Iran had gotten “off to a good start,” quoting Iranian officials declaring that any discussions aimed at “halting Iran’s (nuclear) program and dismantling Iran’s nuclear facilities” were off-limits. Western assessments in contrast were pessimistic, both in general and specifically regarding the prospects for an agreement that would verifiably put Iran’s atomic program beyond use for weaponization.
