–>U.S. UN Ambassador Samantha Power arrived in Israel yesterday.
She plans to shuttle back and forth between Ramallah and Jerusalem and underscore the American commitment to a vision of two states.
What she doesn’t seem to realize is that there are already two Palestinian states: one in Gaza, the other in Areas A and B of Judea and Samaria.
–>Turkey and Saudi Arabia begin an attack in Syria.
You need a scorecard these days to figure out who is fighting whom in Syria. With Aleppo surrounded by the Iranian-Hezbollah-Russian-Assad coalition, Saudi Arabia has apparently spent the last week ferrying planes and ground troops to Turkish bases on the Syrian border.

The besieged rebel fighters in Aleppo have reportedly received surface to air missiles–and even surface to surface missiles–to help them try to ward off Russian air attacks.
