/ BARAK / 20 before me, provoked more left-wing parties like Meretz to suggest that if I really wanted peace, I’d be ready to give away more, and more quickly. My position wasn’t helped by the way I had come over in the media during my first months as Labor leader. A number of...

/ BARAK / 14 five-year interim period had yet to begin. In one respect, I had some sympathy for Bibi’s predicament. The reason I'd tried to get Yitzhak to alter the terms of Oslo II was that it required us to hand back control before we knew what a “permanent- status” peace deal...

wants to focus on the Asia-Pacific region and, surprisingly, it means what it says. Only a year after troops withdrew from Iraq, that country is not talked about in Washington, like an embarrassing relative. In North Africa, the US military has taken a back seat while the work o...
