Fethi Benaissa gives a round-up of today's trends.

Israel's ties with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain are often pointed to as a model for what Israel-Arab relations can look like if they reach their full potential: extensive economic and cultural ties, and an open embrace of open relations. But why is it that some Arab countries have accepted Israel's existence, even enthusiastically adopting ties, while other states have refused? And what will it take for the Palestinian leadership to recognize the benefits of peace with Israel that other Arab leaders in the Middle East have already done? Or, as some critics contend, is the Palestinian Authority too invested in conflict with Israel to ever acknowledge the economic growth potential that lies in a peace agreement with the Jewish State? To help us navigate this complex web, we are joined by Ofir Gendelman. For 17 years, Ofir served as Israel's spokesperson to the Arab media. He previously served in Israel's Embassy to Canada in Ottawa as First Secretary and Consul, among other roles. Currently, he manages Geldeman Strategic Consulting, which assists Israeli and international companies expand their business in the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco.

Ben Caspit talks this week with Israeli-Arab journalist Lucy Aharish. The media celebrity warns that Israel’s democracy and freedom of speech are shaky and even endangered. She says that with only a small number of media outlets, social media has become more powerful and louder in Israel than anywhere else on the globe. On the other hand, she says, every Israeli journalist knows that over criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would cost him or her their jobs — and she has already been in that spot herself.

There's heavy fighting again today in Southern Lebanon, as Israel ramps up the ground war against Hezbollah. Meantime, Arab television news programs are broadcasting pictures of dead children and other images of the widening humanitarian crisis. It's the twentieth day of fighting which began after Hezbollah captured two of Israel's troops. In the beginning, public opinion in Lebanon was divided over who to blame. Can Washington still be an "honest broker?" Will continuing violence mean declining effectiveness for the diplomacy of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice? We speak with pollsters and communication experts journalists in the Middle East about what the ongoing conflict means for America's reputation in the Arab world, where the US is seen as Israel's principal ally. Making News: Ra--l Castro Takes Reigns from FidelIn Havana, Fidel Castro has relinquished power for the first time since becoming Cuba's President in 1959.

Vanessa Bauz-- who covers the Caribbean for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, has an update and a look at the two brothers whose power extends beyond politics.Reporter's Notebook: Reaction in the US to Castro's Transfer of PowerFidel Castro has relinquished power for the first time since the Cuban revolution. If there's a somber mood in Havana, the reverse is true in Miami, where Cuban exiles have become a potent force in Florida politics and in American policy-making toward Castro's Communist government. Since 1959, they've been waiting for signs that Castro is failing. We hear more about this "temporary" transition of power, and get the reaction of exile groups in Miami and Washington's plans for the time when Castro passes away.
