| Summary/Abstract |
This paper discusses the background to the Palestinian elections and highlights the fact that they are the first democratic elections since 1996. It discusses the reasons for Hamas's participation and the problems it faced. It also examines what issues the electoral candidates needed to touch on in order to win the election. The paper highlights the fact that Fatah's days are over because of widespread corruption. It touches on how Hamas now needs to deal with the international community and how it can compromise with Israel. The paper emphasises that Hamas is the people's choice and that, because it has many obstacles ahead of it, the international community needs to allow it time and to monitor its progress, watching how it deals with being in the real political realm.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article aims to analyze the relationship between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia from 2015 when the latter refused to cooperate on the kingdom’s war in Yemen. The relationship can be understood through the dependency theory and its paradigm of aid dependence, which explain Pakistan’s external reliance on foreign nations like Saudi Arabia and China. The relationship between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is asymmetrical, considering long-lasting religious, economic, and security ties. Pakistan’s dependence on the Saudis for repeated economic bailout packages and loans to support its finances highlights the nature of this unbalanced relationship. Furthermore, the situation in Kashmir and Saudi Arabia’s increasingly close ties with India have worsened the Saudi relations with Pakistan. Pakistan’s neighbor, India, seeks to fill this void, as it is now Saudi Arabia’s fourth largest trading partner. This article also considers the military aspect of the relationship as Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities are among the most critical factors determining its strategic relationship with Saudi Arabia. Finally, the article considers Pakistan’s mediation role in conflicts related to Saudi Arabia.

| Summary/Abstract |
the headline-grabbing foreignpolicy
initiative of Obama's
election campaign was that his
administration would talk to Tehran
"without preconditions." The idea that
American diplomacy in the Middle East
needs renewal is evident, and the Obama
presidency has brought with it hopes that
a new diplomatic initiative might aid the
most intractable foreign-policy issues in
the region. Perhaps Obama's charisma,
international appeal and emphasis on
engagement will provide America with
a new and productive diplomatic infl uence
that it has so clearly lacked of late.
However, the Obama strategy has been to
pursue "tough direct diplomacy," emphasizing
the potential sticks of economic
pressure and political isolation.1
