Of note from the long weekend

From the weekend, AP has a lengthy piece on the overtures made by Hamas towards the West.
Juan Cole gives a quick (yet remarkably astute) rundown of the Obama-Netanyahu meetings that took place at the White House on Monday.
Obama wants Netanyahu to commit to supporting a two-state solution to be implemented in the near future. Netanyahu absolutely refused. He did say he is willing to "talk" to the Palestinians, though it is unclear why that would be a productive thing to do if he is die-hard against giving them the only thing they want.
