Tony Blair on peace process: "I'm worried and frustrated"
By Lucky Gold
Losing hope in the concept of two states
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was in Jerusalem on Monday, joining the effort to revive the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. It won’t be easy.
“I’m worried and frustrated, too,” said Blair. “We’ve managed to keep this whole process from collapsing but that’s not the same thing as getting it moving.”
Appearing on Amanpour, Blair warned that if the process does collapse, “the consequences are really serious. It’s not just a question of disorder and instability – although that’s always a risk – it’s also that people end up losing hope in the concept of two states.” FULL POST

The Palestinian Authority under pressure
By Lucky Gold
We have been facing serious financial difficulties for more than two years
CNN - Can the stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority be revived by the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the region?
On Monday, Christiane Amanpour sat down with Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian Prime Minister, in his Ramallah office on the West Bank, where he expressed serious doubts – not only about the peace talks but about the very existence of the Palestinian Authority he represents:
“It should not be taken as a foregone conclusion that we’re going to be able to make it, to be honest with you, given the pressures on us, both political as well as economic and financial.”
Asked to elaborate on those financial pressures, he told her, “We have been facing serious financial difficulties for more than two years now and the crisis has become very acute to the point of us being unable to meet such basic obligations as wages.” FULL POST

Bucking the trend of the Arab Spring
By Mick Krever, CNN
Libya is just a few days out from its first election in decades. And Libya’s game-changing politician is already well-versed in the art of political speech.
“The only victorious party is the Libyan people,” said Mahmoud Jibril, whose National Forces Alliance seems poised to win the election.
Jibril served as Libya’s interim prime minister after Moammar Gadhafi was deposed last October after 42 years of iron-fisted rule.
“The Libyan people have managed to prove one thing: That they are the real decision maker. That the destiny of this country is not in the hands of an individual, of any political force or political party. It’s only in their hands. And this is very comforting to me.” FULL POST

What's next for Egypt?
Q&A with Christiane Amanpour
By Samuel Burke
What’s next for Egypt?
I think what we’re seeing is a challenge by the new President Mohammed Morsy to the military and, frankly, what is considered to be the military’s hijacking of democracy. The idea of declaring invalid so many of the parliamentary elections, to basically dissolve parliament, is counter to a free electoral process. This week Morsy confronted the military in a quiet way by reconvening parliament just for one hour to try and get the parliamentary ball rolling again. The court again came out and said that their decree stood and that there needed to be new elections for a new parliament.
Will Morsy have a violent clash with the military?
My belief is that Morsy will not go toward a full-scale confrontation with the military. That’s in nobody’s interest. Most certainty not in his interest, nor in the interest of Egypt. His struggle is more likely to take place on the political chess-board, rather than by calling for protest in the streets. FULL POST
Melinda Gates taking contraception to women worldwide
100,000 women die in childbirth each year because of unintended pregnancies. Contraception could cut this number by a third, yet it is not available to more than two hundred million women in the developing world. Melinda Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda gates foundation, is combating this problem from the bottom up – getting birth control in the hands of women all over the world. She says family planning fell off the priority list because it was too difficult fighting from the top down, causing of controversy amongst religious and political leaders.
Gates is a practicing Catholic; and in spite of contraception being counter to Catholic doctrine, she says she wants to take this mission on as part of her life’s work partly because she is a practicing Catholic. She said that in her travels around the world she has seen women suffer because of a lack of family planning, so she believes that giving women the tools to space their births out and prevent high-risk pregnancies honors those parts of her religion which promote social justice and preventing suffering.
