Netanyahu, Lieberman deal meant to derail French plan (Daoud Kuttab, Al Arabiya)

If the French diplomatic machine had a hard time scheduling a conference with US Secretary of State John Kerry, it will soon find out that its effort to arrange an international conference on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be that much harder. In a three-day spat, a behind-the-scenes effort by Kerry and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to move the Israeli government toward peace backfired

Can France Make Middle East Peace? (Daoud Kuttab, Project-Syndicate)

Since the beginning of the year, the French government has been building support for an international conference to restart the Israel-Palestine peace process. France deserves applause for its brave effort to revive a process that has been going nowhere for the better part of a decade. But success will require more than courage.

Israel's attempts to monopolise Jerusalem will fail (Daoud Kuttab, Al Jazeera)

Israeli tourism officials have been caught red-handed trying to forge history. Gone are the days when Israeli officials in Jerusalem - like the former Israeli mayor Teddy Kollek - would stress ad nauseam the city's religious and cultural "mosaic" pluralism and diversity.

Defamation and Development in the Arab World (Daoud Kuttab, Project-Syndicate)

With the violent radicalism and civil wars of the Middle East and North Africa capturing the world’s attention, the region’s grossly distorted legal systems are being given short shrift. Yet problematic laws like those criminalizing defamation, which facilitate political and economic repression, undermine development – and destroy lives.

A new Palestinian leader for all? (Daoud Kuttab, Al Jazeera)

It is not clear what the chief of Palestinian intelligence, Majid Faraj, had in mind when he gave an interview  to the United States-based website Defence News. If the aim was to improve his chances of succeeding Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, it was clearly a misstep. However, if he was simply protecting his boss, he will be remembered as the soldier who attempted to take a bullet for his general.
