Despite some success in disrupting Iran's nuclear program, most experts today believe that Iran is at most only two to three years away from a nuclear weapons capability. Iran has stockpiled enough low-enriched uranium (LEU) to produce the fuel for three nuclear weapons and has rebuffed all negotiation efforts. Given Iran's intransigence, the United States will need to continue imposing tough, biting and sustained sanctions. Increased pressure offers the best prospect to persuade Tehran to halt its illicit enrichment of uranium.

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have stalled because Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas has refused to meet with Israeli leaders since September 2010. Instead, Abbas has traveled the world seeking recognition of a Palestinian state. Abbas' circumventions will bring neither peace nor a Palestinian state; direct talks are needed for that. Indeed, the recently leaked "Palestine Papers" demonstrate conclusively that meaningful conversations can take place when Israelis and Palestinians negotiate intensely and privately. It is high time for Abbas to stop his globetrotting and return to the negotiating table.

While the Egyptian people admirably demonstrate for democratic change and political freedom, the resulting turmoil raises many security concerns both in the United States and in Israel. The 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty has been the cornerstone of regional stability for more than three decades. As America works with the Egyptian people to bring about a democratic transition, Washington must urge the new government to maintain Egypt's commitments to peace and nonproliferation as well as its opposition to Islamic radicalism and Iran.

The Palestinian Authority (PA) is refusing to accept the Obama administration's new diplomatic initiative to address core issues through U.S. bilateral engagement followed by direct talks between Israelis and Palestinians. Instead, the PA is seeking U.N. backing for a unilateral declaration of Palestinian statehood - a move backed by Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Norway and Uruguay. Wisely, the United States has discouraged this unilateral approach. America should continue its long-standing support for negotiations to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and oppose harmful unilateral efforts.

Despite renewed international dialogue with Iran, expectations remain low that Tehran will meet minimal international demands to end its nuclear weapons quest. The International Atomic Energy Agency reports that Iran is pressing ahead with its nuclear efforts, more efficiently operating a greater number of centrifuges and advancing work on weaponization and missile technology. While recently imposed international sanctions are having a real impact in Iran, they have not yet brought about a change in the regime's behavior. Sustaining and increasing that pressure offer the best prospect to persuade Tehran to change course.
