“The Obama-Netanyahu relationship as we’ve known it for the past six years may well be what the future looks like,” writes Max Fisher.

“Instead of admitting his opposition to a Palestinian state,” Peter Beinart writes, “Netanyahu twisted the concept beyond recognition.”

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave his most detailed explanation of what he deems an acceptable Palestinian state will look like, during a Q&A at the Center for American Progress on Tuesday,” write Justin Salhani and Beenish Ahmed.

“U.S. administration officials haven’t denied Prime Minister Netanyahu’s enthusiastic portrayal of his Monday rendezvous with President Obama but their sardonic smile gives them away,” writes Chemi Shalev.

The European Union pushed ahead on Wednesday with rules for labeling consumer goods from Jewish-owned businesses and farms in the land Israel captured during the 1967 war, creating new strains in relations between Europe and Israel.

The European Union’s labeling scheme for settlement products could actually lead to an increase in overall exports from Israel, a senior European diplomat said, dismissing Israeli claims that the measure was tantamount to a boycott and could seriously harm Israeli businesses.

The state transferred Palestinian land in the Jordan Valley to Jewish settlers for decades, despite an explicit instruction against doing so by the director of the Civil Department in the State Prosecutor’s Office, Haaretz has learned.

“In a lengthy essay titled “What Do Palestinians Want?” and published in Mosaic, Daniel Polisar provides a detailed analysis of Palestinian public opinion,” writes Dahlia Scheindlin. “Unfortunately, Polisar’s conclusions bear all the markings of a polemic: a preconceived notion that the author was determined to support with data selected and interpreted for this purpose.”

Strategic adviser Moshe Gaon claims that much like in the days of the 2000 Camp David summit, Israelis are ready for significant compromises on the condition that they bring an end to the conflict with the Palestinians.

A draft United Nations Security Council resolution prepared by New Zealand which seeks to promote renewed Israeli-Palestinian negotiations by cutting out the International Criminal Court is seriously misguided, Amnesty International said today.

If passed, Israel would be one of a handful of Western countries that imposes jail sentences on children under the age of 14.

Clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinians in Hebron have been especially traumatic for children, experts say.

The Knesset approved in a preliminary vote on Wednesday legislation that would bar anyone who publicly calls to boycott Israel or part of Israel from entering the country.
