altered with Obama's election, she could see no changes in "terms of the pros and consof Israel taking some kind of action.""Iran is advancing its program all the time. Where is the exact window of opportunity? Idon't think the timing can be so fine-tuned as to give an exact date. It all boils down tothe larger question of what you want to gain through military action. And this is thesituation we've been faced with for the past few years," she said.Landau said military action would likely not stop Iran's nuclear program, or even delay itsignificantly. Much of the talk of a strike formed part of an attempt to pressure Iran, andto keep it thinking that "there was a credible threat there. And the purpose of that is toget Iran to finally negotiate seriously," she said."Even if military action was used, it would ultimately have to lead to some kind ofnegotiation to get a deal," Landau said.3. A Revived Roman Empire?Mediterranean Union agrees on Barcelona as headquarters, Arab-Israeli rolehttp://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5gzBNI6Di29bPocrAVLXgwufCAVswForeign ministers from the new Mediterranean Union struck a deal Tuesday forBarcelona to host the forum's headquarters and for Israel and the Arab League to takepart side-by-side.The Union's 43 member states held two days of talks in the port of Marseille to end afour-month deadlock on the two contentious issues, which threatened to hamstring thefledgling organisation.French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed AbulGheit, whose countries currently co-chair the forum, announced the breakthrough at ajoint news conference in the southern French city."It wasn't supposed to work, and yet it did," said Kouchner, adding: "The essential pointswere accepted completely and without reservation by all 43 states" in the Union for theMediterranean.Ministers from the Mediterranean's mainly-Arab southern rim agreed to back theSpanish city of Barcelona's candidacy to host the Union in exchange for the post ofsecretary-general going to a southern member.
They also clinched a deal on granting the Arab League a full-time seat at the forum -- akey demand of Arab members, strongly opposed by Israel which feared the pan-Arabgroup would try to block its involvement."The Arabic participation will take place in every meeting with the right to speak at alllevels," said Abul Gheit, although it will have no right to vote.Israel agreed to the Arab League's role in exchange for one of five deputy secretarygeneralposts for an initial three-year period, possibly renewable.The deputy posts will rotate between three European members and two southern ones,and will initially be held by the Palestinian Authority, Greece, Malta and Italy, alongsideIsrael, according to the final declaration.The text -- with likely technical amendments -- still has to be formally ratified however bythe two co-presidents of the Union, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his Egyptiancounterpart Hosni Mubarak.Launched at a Paris summit in July, the new union brings together EU members withstates from north Africa, the Balkans, the Arab world and Israel in a bid to fostercooperation in one of the world's most volatile regions.An Israeli diplomat said it agreed to the Arab League "compromise" on the basis itwould be able to play a front-seat role in setting up the fledgling Union, and hopefullybuild bridges around the Mediterranean.But she warned "the Barcelona Process can never replace direct bilateral negotiations"to resolve Israel's conflicts with Arab nations.A spokesman for the Arab League also warned that its participation would not lead tonormalisation with Israel, Egyptian state news agency MENA reported.EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said he was "delighted" by the accord onBarcelona, while EU external relations commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner called it a"logical choice."The Mediterranean capital of Spain's Catalonia region, Barcelona lent its name to the13-year-old Barcelona Process, a previous EU regional initiative that stalled in part overArab-Israeli disputes.In exchange for hosting its headquarters, Spain also agreed to drop the tag "BarcelonaProcess" from the name of the new forum.
