Secretary of State Clinton Arrives in Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived for talks in Jerusalem Sunday, landing just as White House National Security Adviser Tom Donilon was leaving. Clinton arrived from Cairo, and Israeli officials said her talks in Egypt will be high on the agenda. Iran is also expected to play a dominant role in the talks. An official said the Israel-Palestinian diplomatic track would also be discussed. Israel is working on a package of incentives to get the Palestinians back to the negotiation table. Israel is also expected to tell Clinton that continued Palestinian talks about unilateral steps at the UN, or forming a government with an unrepentant Hamas, would have a "negative ripple effect" on the diplomatic process and "force Israel to respond."
