Almost at the same time as Congress was passing its anti-Saudi Yemen legislation, as Jared appeared to go to Riyadh to reassure Saudis that such legislation won't matter.

Nobody takes Khalfan seriously, but he is useful to Emirati authorities as a way to gin up Emirati nationalism and signal very, very clearly who the current bad guy is, even as he's not allowed to actually call the shots.

Would caution on how deep these relations can go: at the end of the day, Moscow is still stuck with Iran-in-Syria so long as Idlib remains outside of regime control.

The Jared angle could imply that MbS thinks his U.S. relationship is safe after such visits; yet Congress proved that wrong yesterday.

Protests have gone beyond just the tepid symbolism of an aging president and are after the whole system. How much power they truly have remains to be seen.

I see the word ‘secular’ in some coverage of today. Term is not useful in Libyan context given no key armed or political actor would self-describe as such to domestic audience. Key component of Haftar’s forces are hardline Salafists who rail against secularism.

Best bit for me? The road just past the Jabel Akhdar. Empty Quarter on one side, mountains on the other, gorgeous drive.

This point about cannot be understated. While protesters aimed at Bouteflika's fifth term the root cause was an economic crisis Whoever replaces Algeria’s President Abdelaziz Bouteflika will inherit another crisis-in-the-making: the economy

With heightened attention around the trials, this sweep is a risk to Saudi’s US ties, but maybe the Yemen vote convince them they have little else to lose now?

Got a chance to talk Yemen and Congress with Saudi, and noted that the War Powers Acts untested nature makes its ability to pull back US support for Saudi in Yemen still unclear.

On final count of Yemen War Powers Act, my home state of Arizona's 3 of 4 GOP reps broke ranks with the president in favor. Close Trump allies amongst them. Arizona voters unlikely to punish; isolationism is often popular in the state.

The real culprit is not the ho-hum Common Core, but the "do or die" No Child Left Behind, which has steadily made schools lower academic standards to keep from failing too many kids and getting taken over or shut down, plus weak teachers unions who can't stop Tiger Parents.

Honestly, you could be forgiven for thinking these photos were taken in Dubai in its heyday in, say, 2013.

One other important angle of this strategy is that Qatar's elites want elite-to-elite contact, so famous people go home, talk positively of Qatar, and reinforce the perception of the emirate as a peaceful, 'nice' place to combat long-standing stereotypes.

One aspect missing here is that the UAE's Gargash has basically been testing the waters for a one-state solution, saying in 15 years the conversation will be about Palestinian rights inside Israel rather than chasing a two-state solution.

Netanyahu to Putin today: “Two years ago, I asked you to help us find the bodies of missing Israeli soldiers, and you responded in the affirmative. I want to thank you, my friend, for what you have done”
