The camera caught Hillary Clinton and Benjamin Netanyahu in an affectionate, cheerful pose, as if they were about to burst into a waltz. The U.S. secretary of state was smiling broadly, and the prime minister's eyes were closed with pleasure. The fear that Clinton would land here as a version of the old lady in the Durrenmatt play "The Visit" - who came to settle a score - was proved false. She came to tell us that the administration welcomes Netanyahu's initiative for a partial, temporary construction freeze in the settlements, and it wasn't a precondition.

Those who expected her to harass us were surprised to hear her reject Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' uncompromising terms. She said the peace negotiations must be resumed for compromises to be reached, and that the Palestinians' demands were not conducive to peace. To soften U.S. President Barack Obama's statements she stressed that the United States was committed to Israel's security. Netanyahu also received a promise for a meeting with Obama. The prime minister will now also take part in the Jewish Federations' General Assembly in Washington.

References in literature

Sulafa Hijjawi (b. 1934), a Palestinian poet in Nablus, writes of the destruction of Zeita, her village, as follows: "In moments the village was gone, not a single bread oven remained, men and stones were powdered by enemy tractors. But Zeita rises again as tulips do."[17]
That's the one.

Today's featured picture
The Battle of Mazandaran, from the Hamzanama

The 38th painting in the seventh volume of the Hamzanama, an illustrated story of the fantastic exploits of Amir Hamza, the uncle of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Commissioned by the Mughal emperor Akbar the Great in the late 16th century, it depicts a scene from the Battle of Mazandaran, in which the protagonists Khwajah 'Umar and Hamza and their armies engage in fierce battle. Originally, the faces were depicted. They were subsequently erased by iconoclasts and repainted in more recent times. The entire work consists of 1,400 folios, with the painting on the recto side and text written in Nastaʿlīq script narrating the story on the verso.
