• Settlers seemed pleased, anyway. [JPost]

• Russia is refunding Iran’s down-payment for a sophisticated anti-aircraft system—further proof, says the U.S., that Russia is welcomely toughening up in its dealings with the Islamic Republic. [Laura Rozen]

• Guess who hasn’t been discovered? Really any of the over 30 suspected killers of Hamas weapons man Mahmoud al-Mabhouh [WSJ]

    Israel once again lost the battle of diplomacy and public relations.They should have agreed that the 10 month freeze on settlements would only begin from the time when the Palestinians began direct talks and negotiations. Abbas waits until the beginning of the ten months to come to the table and is now in the position of making Israel the bad guys because they won’t extend the settlement freeze. What a coup for Abbas.
