In a story that has been festering on the back pages all week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to give a major foreign policy speech Sunday evening.

The exact content of this speech is anybodies guess. Reports have surfaced that he will back the formation of sovereign Palestinian state, although it is clear that this move would put him at odds with hardliners in his own party.

It is also unclear how the apparent reelection of Iranian hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will effect Netanyahu's strategic calculus.

To Charlie: Great link; all too true.

To Jon: This is actually a campaign photo so I'm guessing it was taken in some rich donor's house.
