A quick list of all things Hillary Clinton:

•ISRAEL: On Friday, Secretary Clinton made a stern call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the East Jerusalem housing-project* announcement made during Vice President Joe Biden’s visit last week. Clinton also told CNN’s Jill Dougherty that Israel’s announcement was "insulting" to the United States. (See video below.) Clinton also spoke with NBC’s Andrea Mitchell about the same topic (with transcript here and video excerpt here).

 

•RUSSIA/NUKES: Clinton is headed to Russia this week, where  she’ll meet with President Dmitry Medvedev to discuss negotiations that have been going on for the new START arms-reduction treaty.

•HUMAN RIGHTS: Remember how I mentioned that the United States isn’t on the list of country’s in the State Department’s annual "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices"? Well, it turns out that  Clinton announced that the State Department will be preparing a human rights report on the United States itself.

•HAITI: This morning, Clinton (as seen above) hosted an appreciation event for employees, diplomats, and volunteers from the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, for their work after January’s devastating earthquake. (Right before than, Clinton attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony for employee showers at the State Department’s Harry S. Truman Building.)

•WOMEN: CNN’s Jill Dougherty asks, "How can Clinton help women?

•MEXICO: Clinton offered her "deepest sympathies" to the family and friends of the three people connected to the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, who were murdered over the weekend.

•PAKISTAN/TERRORISM: Clinton extended her "deepest sympathy" for those affected by the multiple bombings in Lahore, Pakistan, on Friday.

*Update, March 23: The phrase "East Jerusalem housing-project announcement" corrects the original phrase, "settlements announcement."
