May 20, 2011 View this newsletter as a web page on CFR's website. OBAMA CONFRONTS UNSETTLED MIDDLE EAST In this CFR First Take, Elliott Abrams writes that President Obama's Mideast policy speech struck the right tone on democratic reforms, but his outline for a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will lead nowhere. ==>Read more on Mr. Abrams's blog, "Pressure Points." ISLAM AND POLITICS IN PAKISTAN Pakistan is bracing for more turbulence in the wake of Osama bin Laden's killing. This CFR Backgrounder on Islam and Politics in Pakistan looks at how state support for Islamist militants has led to growing religious intolerance in society. ==> Explore CFR's interactive Crisis Guide on Pakistan. CRISIS IN THE CONGO This CFR Contingency Planning Memorandum on the Congo describes how electoral instability and insurrectionary violence may once again afflict the Democratic Republic of Congo and posits steps the United States can take to prevent these scenarios from occurring and mitigate their potential consequences. ==> Visit CFR Senior Fellow John Campbell's blog, "Africa in Transition." THE NEW ARAB REVOLT Foreign Affairs and CFR have released a vital new book, The New Arab Revolt: What Happened, What It Means, and What Comes Next, which sets the intellectual stage for understanding the revolutions in the Middle East. This collection brings together more than sixty articles, interviews, congressional testimony, and op-eds from experts and thought leaders. ==> Buy The New Arab Revolt in digital or print format. SYRIA'S BRUTAL CRACKDOWN President Assad's brutal attack on Syrian protestors, and a lack of support for protestors from Syria's army and business class, make it likely that the regime will survive even if it becomes increasingly isolated from the West, says Syria expert Mona Yacoubian in this CFR Interview. ==>Visit CFR Senior Fellow Steven Cook's blog, "From the Potomac to the Euphrates."   A POLITICAL VISION FOR ISRAEL In this CFR Interview, Israel expert David Makovsky says that Prime Minister Netanyahu should offer a swap of territory in return for Palestinian acceptance of a Jewish state, given that Israel is now facing a regional democratization movement, a unity pact between Hamas and Fatah, and a possible UN vote on Palestinian statehood in the fall.     About CFR The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization, think tank, and publisher dedicated to being a resource for its members, government officials, business executives, journalists, educators and students, civic and religious leaders, and other interested citizens in order to help them better understand the world and the foreign policy choices facing the United States and other countries.
