It was the place through which all roads seemed to travel, and the place where everything happened. The transformed campus has provided the community with new spaces to collaborate, network, and commune, and the Forum has had its own makeover, with new floors and carpets and colors. But some things have stayed the same. The Forum is still the school’s heart. And it is still packed about 60 or so times a year.

  • Officials Say Flynn Discussed Sanctions
    Officials say Flynn discussed sanctions The Washington Post February 10, 2017 Friday, Met 2 Edition Copyright 2017 The Washington Post All Rights Reserved Distribution: Every Zone Section: A-SECTION; Pg. A08 Length: 1971 words Byline: Greg Miller;Adam Entous;Ellen Nakashima Body Talks with Russia envoy said to have occurred before Trump took office National security adviser Michael Flynn privately discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia with that country's ambassador to the United States during the month before President Trump took office, contrary to public assertions by Trump officials, current and former U.S. officials said. Flynn's communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were interpreted by some senior U.S. officials as an inappropriate and potentially illegal signal to the Kremlin that it could expect a reprieve from sanctions that were being imposed by the Obama administration in late December to punish Russia for its alleged interference in the 2016 election. Flynn on Wednesday denied that he had discussed sanctions with Kislyak. Asked in an interview whether he had ever done so, he twice said, "No." On Thursday, Flynn, through his spokesman, backed away from the denial. The spokesman said Flynn "indicated that while he had no recollection of discussing sanctions, he couldn't be certain that the topic never came up." Officials said this week that the FBI is continuing to examine Flynn's communications with Kislyak. Several officials emphasized that while sanctions were discussed, they did not see evidence that Flynn had an intent to convey an explicit promise to take action after the inauguration. Flynn's contacts with the ambassador attracted attention within the Obama administration because of the timing.

  • Economic Peace in the West Bank and the Fayyad Plan: Are They Working?
    The Middle East Institute Policy Brief No. 28 January 2010 Economic Peace in the West Bank and the Fayyad Plan: Are They Working? By Adam Robert Green Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority Salam Fayyad wants to build the insti- tutional foundations of a Palestinian state by 2011. Improved security in the West Bank, and Israel’s easing of some checkpoints, has boosted the effort by strengthening the West Bank’s economy. This Policy Brief asks whether this muted economic re- vival can be deepened and sustained in the absence of a peace agreement with Israel or a unified Palestinian leadership. For more than 60 years, the Middle East Institute has been dedicated to increasing Americans’ knowledge and understanding of the re- gion. MEI offers programs, media outreach, language courses, scholars, a library, and an academic journal to help achieve its goals. The views expressed in this Policy Brief are those of the author; the Middle East Institute does not take positions on Middle East policy. Economic Peace in the West Bank and the Fayyad Plan: Are They Working? There can be a democratic, de facto Palestinian state by 2011, according to Salam Fayyad, the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority (PA). The goal was outlined in an eloquent two-year plan entitled “Ending the Occupation, Establishing the State,”1 published in August 2009, which called for the formation of the institutional founda- tions of statehood prior to, and independent of, an agreement with Israel. The so-called “August plan” is breathlessly ambitious. It envisions the building of a Palestine International Airport in the Jordan Valley, the reconstruction of Gaza Port, and a passage connecting Hamas’ battered province with the West Bank.

Monsieur le ministre d’État, Madame et Monsieur les secrétaires d’État, Mesdames et Messieurs les députés, avec la COP21, le Climate Finance Day , le One Planet Summit et le Pacte mondial pour l’environnement, la France a beaucoup parlé d’environnement et fait parler d’elle sur le thème de l’environnement au cours des deux dernières années – c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire – et est devenu en quelque sorte le porte-drapeau de la transition écologique dans le monde. Cependant, force est de constater que c’est seulement depuis quelques mois que l’on observe une adéquation entre les paroles et les actes – que l’on vous doit, Monsieur le ministre d’État, Madame et Monsieur les secrétaires d’État. L’enjeu de cette mandature est bien de transformer ce que beaucoup voient encore comme une contrainte en une opportunité pour la France de prendre de l’avance et de devenir un modèle pour tous.

    SPRING EDITION home 2018 Omani Minister of Foreign Rawabi’s 5th Neighborhood Forbes Holds its Annual Affairs: “The City of Rawabi “Ikshaf”: New Floorplans, Conference at Rawabi is a Miracle, it’s Like the Sizes and Breathtaking Pyramids” Views LIVE, WORK, AND GROW IN THE FIRST PALESTINIAN PLANNED CITY Here at Rawabi, we are moving with certainty towards a bright future. Together, we dreamed of what was possible and together, we built it. The city is coming alive as families go about the daily business of work, school and home life. Q Center hums with activity as employees arrive each day fresh and eager to create, to produce, and innovate in the city’s expanding business hub. By night, the lights of Rawabi’s cafes, restaurants and shops sparkle as the sounds of relaxed conversations and laughter spill out onto the sidewalks. When the weekend comes, young and old come out to enjoy the warm weather and outdoor activities found in our breathtaking natural setting at WaDina. One of the sights that makes me most proud is young students heading into Rawabi English Academy. The city’s first school opened its doors in September 2016 and rapidly grew to become one of Palestine’s premiere education facilities. Perhaps more than any other accomplishment we’ve shared, the success of our school assures me we are on the right track and that there is no obstacle we cannot surmount. When I walk around the city today, so much of what I see reinforces my conviction that the gains we have made here are permanent – that we have built something no one will ever be able to take away from us.
