US Senator John Kerry and I share a problem: difficulty in giving money to the Government of Pakistan (GoP). Late last month, after another frustrating round of listening to Pakistani officials complain about the Kerry-Lugar Bill, the lanky US senator said that never before had he had so much difficulty in trying to give away $7.5 billion.

| Summary/Abstract |
The future role of US drones has been the subject of considerable controversy due to their use in remote parts of the world
to target individuals designated as terrorists. In his confirmation hearings, Secretary of State John Kerry expressed concerns about
overseas perceptions of such activities by stating that, "American foreign
policy is not defined by drones and deployments alone."1
Additionally,
within the United States, many issues surrounding drone use clearly need
scrupulous legal and ethical consideration. Underlying all these factors,
however, must be a consideration of the issue of military effectiveness.
Regulating the use of a marginally valuable weapons-system is easy, while
regulating a highly effective system in a way that forecloses options can
be difficult since more is at stake. Careful consideration must be given
to how effectively these systems can serve US interests as well as the
negative consequences of overseas backlash to their use when evaluating
their optimal place in US strategy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The ugly rhetoric that erupted between Israeli and American leaders in 2014 epitomized the rapid deterioration of the relations between the two leaderships, if not yet the two countries, since Barack Obama became the American president and Binyamin Netanyahu the Israeli prime minister in 2009. To be sure, there have been conflicts between Israeli and American leaders in the past, yet none of them reached the level of personal rancour seen in 2014 with Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon disparaging Secretary of State John Kerry’s peace efforts as ‘obsessive and messianic’ and ‘senior administration officials’ deriding Netanyahu as a ‘chickenshit’ and a ‘coward’. Even the much vaunted security relationship between the two states began to suffer in 2014 as the US held up shipments of Hellfire missiles to Israel during its summer 2014 war against Hamas. While a renewal of the bilateral 10-year military aid agreement was signed in 2016, and the ascension of Donald Trump to the presidency may herald an improvement in bilateral relations, it remains to be seen if the damage to the US‒Israeli relationship done in the 2014–2015 period will be overcome.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the factors that contributed to the failure of the last major effort, which was carried out by US Secretary of State John Kerry, to facilitate a Final Status Agreement to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The analysis is based on an understanding that every effort to resolve this intractable conflict, even if unsuccessful, is worthy of examination, which can yield interesting observations and insights that may inform future attempts to find a solution. As President Trump’s administration makes intensive efforts to broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, and the US Middle East negotiation delegation shuttles intensively between the parties and between major regional actors to explore the possibility of renewing official negotiations, this seems like an opportune time to review the major factors that affected the outcome of the previous peace talks.

Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of International Affairs: Sergey Alekseyevich, recently, two foreign service chiefs - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier - visited Moscow. I would like to ask you about the outcome of the talks with them. Some experts say: "A thaw has set in. " Others, including members of our expert club, are more skeptical. Maybe the truth lies somewhere in between?

| Summary/Abstract |
During the second term of President Barack Obama, US-Israeli relations sharply deteriorated. After a positive visit by President Obama to Israel in March 2013, major disagreements erupted over the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, over the nuclear deal with Iran and, especially, over the construction of Jewish settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Making matters worse, personal recriminations crept into the Israeli-American dialogue on the disputes. While the two countries signed a major military assistance agreement in September 2016, Israeli settlement expansion after the election of Donald Trump as the US President in November 2016 led to a further deterioration of relations between the Obama Administration and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, which was demonstrated by the Obama Administration’s failure to veto a UN Security Council Resolution condemning Israeli settlements.

International Affairs: Mr. Ambassador, what is the status of the crisis settlement process in Syria?
Riad Haddad: The Syrian leadership has been calling for a political settlement of the crisis through a comprehensive national dialogue with the participation of all representatives of Syrian society. We are continuing to work in this direction. It may be recalled that in 2013 President Bashar Assad put forward a plan to settle the Syrian crisis and make a transition to a new Syria without outside interference.
We proclaimed the same approach at the Geneva Conference, and the Syrian delegation, the only representative of the Syrian people, was sincere and serious in the course of the negotiations. At the same time, the presentation by Secretary of State John Kerry at the opening of the Geneva-2 Conference was provocative and destabilizing. In response to that, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem stated that no one has the right to decide the fate of the Syrian people except the Syrians themselves, reminding Kerry and his allies about the UN Charter and the principles of international law prohibiting interference in the affairs of independent states.
