On March 28, top diplomats from the United States, Egypt, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel gathered in Sde Boker, in the Negev Desert, for the first Israeli-Arab summit of its kind on Israeli soil. Though it did not produce any solutions to the regions most pressing challenges, including issues around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Irans quest for nuclear weapons, it was an important demonstration of the shifting attitudes in parts of the Arab world toward the Jewish state.

It was in an administrative office building adjacent to the Stadttempel synagogue, the only synagogue built before 1938 that was not burned by the Nazis and only because it was too close to the Nazi headquarters in The Hotel Metropol, 150 meters away

As the Maine Legislature held an eight-hour public hearing today on an affordable housing bill that would amend zoning rules statewide for cities and towns, the Mayor of Auburn, the states fifth-largest city, showed us how his city is already implementing the kinds of changes proposed.Legislators on the Housing and Labor Committee entertained several hours of testimony over the bill sponsored by Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, a Democrat from Biddeford, LD 2003, which would require municipalities to let property owners build up to four units on lots zoned for single-family homes, among other reforms.Zoning laws are by definition exclusionary in nature, Auburn Mayor Jason Levesque, a Republican serving his third term, said in an interview at a construction site. Thats really the fundamental change that has to happen. Were overregulated, were under-housed, and really, weve eliminated the rights of property owners to actually live on the land that they own.Levesque and the city council revised zoning laws that limited property owners to single-family homes or prevented them from adding accessory dwelling units on their land."Nobody's going to force you to do anything in your backyard, then again you have no right to force someone, your neighbor, to not do something in their backyard," Levesque said
