 and east of Jerusalem as several hundreds right-wing Israeli settlers marched to the area in the hopes of establishing a new \'outpost\' Jewish settlement. The E1 area is slated by the Israeli government to be a "natural expansion" of Jerusalem, but Palestinians see it as a land-grab.',700,700);)

 and Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, dealing mainly with the Annapolis peace conference, which had not yet been announced. Regev on 02 December 2007 was named the Public Affairs Adviser and Spokesman of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, replacing Miri Eisin. Regev has previously served as the spokesman at the Israeli embassies in Washington and Beijing, and went to university in Melbourne, Boston, and Hebrew University. His previous job was Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry and Minister Tzipi Livni. Israel and the Palestinians sit down to begin negotiations on the \'core issues\' of reaching a peace deal in about 10 days time.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++++<br />\r\nEnvironmental portrait. Good to keep archives and have them readily available. Regev will be Olmert\'s spokesman for the peace deal with the Palestinians, if they can come to agreements over all the \'core (read difficult) issues\' during the next year. Bush\'s end of term could very well end as Clinton\'s did -- with a lot of expectations that a deal between Israel and the Palestinians is at hand, but then, whoosh, it evaporates.... it has happened before. Watch this space.',700,700);)

The status of Jerusalem and the Palestinians\' "right of return" will both be major "core issues" discussed at the US-sponsored Middle East conference that begins today.',700,700);)

Asked about the outcome of the US-sponsored Annapolis peace conference which is being held today, Mr. Alawi said, "They will only drink coffee, and return with nothing."',700,700);)

 and a wide variety of Jewish religious candelabras. The status of Jerusalem, a city revered by the world\'s three monotheistic religions, will be one of the major \'core issues\' at the US-sponsored Middle East conference to take place in Annapolis, Maryland next week. ',700,700);)

Jewish settlements is one of the major issues for the Annapolis conference, but this settlement is so huge - known as "facts on the ground" that construction will never be frozen, nor will it ever be returned to Palestinian ownership.',700,700);)

 and Palestinian Prime Minister Salem Fayyad, as he announces in a Jerusalem press conference that four large economic projects will get underway to improve the lives of the Palestinian people. All three in their joint press conference spoke with open optimism of the US-sponsored Middle East conference to be held in Annapolis, Maryland.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++++<br />\r\nMr. Blair has shown significant results in the short time since taking on his new job, but a short, small gesture, appropriate to the Holy Land, tells it all concerning finding lasting Peace in this small corner of the world. On to Annapolis, with fingers crossed.',700,700);)

, the Director of the Yad Vashem Memorial, and Josef Chaim Kaufamn, a Holocaust survivor from Belgium, during a ceremony in the \'Hall of Remembrances\' in the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem on 15 November 2007. Yevtushenko later was honored to lay a wreath in memory to the six-million Jews exterminated by the Nazis during World War II. Yevtushenko, born in 1933, published his famous poem against anti-antisemitism, \'Babi Yar,\' in 1961 and is internationally renowned also as a novelist, film maker and director. He currently teaches literature and cinema in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the U.S. <br />\r\n+++++++++++++++<br />\r\nI couldn\'t resist putting out this picture of a poet who obviously considers himself a sharp dresser and wants to look sharp for the ceremony.',700,700);)
