BBC NEWS: OBAMA INVITES MIDDLE EAST HEADS
PM Benjamin Netanyahu, President Hosni Mubarak and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas have been asked to the White House for talks likely by early June in order to restart the Middle East peace process. With each of them Obama plans to discuss ways the United States can strengthen and deepen US partnerships with each group, as well as the steps all parties must take to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians and Israel and the Arab states. Currently, ther is much cynicism in the Middle East on all sides towards the peace process.
Question to the Blogosphere: What common ground, if any do these groups have with each other? What should the role of the United States be in the Arab/Israeli conflict? Do you think a two-state solution is wise? What incentives can the United States provide in order to get all parties to come to a mutually agreed-upon solution? Do you think there can be a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict?
