 and US Middle East envoy George Mitchell after their first meeting in the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem on 16 April 2009 as Lieberman gestures toward Mitchell\'s convoy of vehicles after they made statements following their meeting, which lasted a little more than one hour. Mitchell is on his first trip to Israel and the Palestinian Authority after the new Israeli government came into office.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nOK, it could happen to anyone. A little mistake corrected. Mitchell began to follow Lieberman back into the office instead of going to his convoy of Suburbans parked at the curb with the blue light flashing. The meeting was over and they made brief statements and broke apart. Mitchell went the wrong way and Lieberman corrected him, but body language tells it all....not a very successful 1st meeting between the two. Earlier Lieberman had said basically that Annapolis was \'dead,\' as the former government had been unable to accomplish anything in the Peace camp despite intensive talks for the past year. True, but not what Mitchell wanted to hear on his arrival in Israel. ',700,700);)

 with security agents as he walks to the cabinet meeting room in his Jerusalem offices on March 15th. Olmert announced a limit of tonight in dealing with Hamas to bring about a massive prisoner release and swap for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. <br />\r\n++++++++++++++++<br />\r\nThis is really desperation at the last minute. Sort of like |Clinton trying to get a deal at Wye. Flexability is the key word today. I was supposed to go to Gaza for the day early, but had a call the cabinet was earlier than expected, so I covered and then went to Gaza, or just over the border for the shortest visit to Gaza I ever made - 45 minutes!',700,700);)
 talks with Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, Minister of National Infrastructure and a former defense minister, as the weekly cabinet meeting gets underway chaired by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (C R), who has a word with the Cabinet Secretary Yisrael Maimon, in his Jerusalem offices on 15 March 2009. Olmert announced a limit of tonight in dealing with Hamas to bring about a massive prisoner release and swap for abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. Next to Olmert is Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni who, it is reported, has held additional secret meetings with Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss forming a unity government. ',700,700);)

![](javascript:doblowup('Time for Shalit ?','/images/uploaded/up_tUmgrB.jpg','Noam Shalit, the father of abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, checks the time as a young protester demonstrating for Gilad\'s release on the 987th day of his captivity inside the Gaza Strip sits wrapped in an Israeli flag next to a protest tent near the Jerusalem residence of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, on 08 March 2009. Gilad Shalit\'s parents arrived to the protest tent and said they intend to stay until their son is released in a massive prisoner swap with Hamas. Noam told reporter\'s today that he intends to stay in the tent \'until the end of Olmert\'s term, or until Gilad returns.\' <br />\r\n++++++++++++++<br />\r\nIsrael is negotiating with Hamas to free Palestinians with "Blood on their hands" for the release of Gilad Shalit. Sentiment in the country is very much in favor of doing almost anything possible for Gilad\'s return, including, for the first time, releasing many Palestinian prisoners who planned and carried attacks in Israel. This will send the message that "crime does pay," however it\'s been almost three years since his capture. The photo is a bit of a cliche - time for something, but works I think as a portrait of a patient man waiting for a long time, and whose time might be very soon. ',700,700);)
