Hillary Clinton with Ehud Olmert, March 3, 2009
 

As you may have noticed, there have been a few interesting articles lately about Clinton’s stance on Israel. (Above, she meets with then Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on March 3 in Jerusalem.)

I don’t have time today to elaborate further, but here are two links:

Clinton Counters Israeli Stance on Palestinians and Iran” (Washington Post): “Progress on establishing a Palestinian state must go ‘hand-in-hand’ with efforts to stem Iranian influence in the Middle East, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said [April 23], implicitly rejecting the emerging position of the new Israeli government.”

Clinton’s Mideast Pirouette” (New York Times op-ed): “I hear that Clinton was shocked by what she saw on her visit last month to the West Bank. This is not surprising. The transition from Israel’s first-world hustle-bustle to the donkeys, carts and idle people beyond the separation wall is brutal. If Clinton cares about one thing, it’s human suffering.”

And as usual, Secretary Clinton’s official schedule
