Editorial

No easy answers
From MEI in London June 10th, 2004 Many Iraqis seem prepared to give the newly formed government that is to assume nominal sovereignty at the end of the month a chance to prove itself. Many reservations were voiced about its composition and formation. Whatever their individual qualities, an administration headed by someone previously best known as the CIA’s man in the offshore opposition, with the formerly Saudi-based nephew of a tribal shaykh holding the presidency, is not every Iraqi’s idea of a dream team.
News Analysis

Iraq's new government
From Steve Negus in Baghdad June 10th, 2004 Iraq’s first sovereign post-invasion leaders have been named, and the reaction so far is relatively positive. That said, the Iraqi Governing Council was received reasonably well at first, only to become widely unpopular (as an institution, anyway — many members retained personal popularity) when it showed itself ineffective and subordinate to the Coalition.

... Middle East /Israel ISRAEL General Information
Area: 22,145 sq km (8550 sq miles; includes East Jerusalem and the Golan sub-district).
Population: 6,433,500 (official estimate 2001).
Population Density: 290.5 per sq km.
Capital: Jerusalem. Population: (including East Jerusalem) 758,300 (2000). The Israeli government has designated Jerusalem as the capital, although this is not recognised by the UN, and most foreign embassies are based in Tel Aviv.
GEOGRAPHY: Israel is on the eastern Mediterranean, bordered by Lebanon and the Syrian Arab Republic to the north, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the south. The autonomous Palestinian Authority Region lies mostly on the west bank of the River Jordan. Part of the Gaza strip, in the south of the country, is also administered by the Palestinians. The country stretches southwards through the Negev Desert to Eilat, a resort town on the Red Sea. The fertile Plain of Sharon runs along the coast, while inland, parallel to the coast, is a range of hills and uplands with fertile valleys to the west and arid desert to the east. The Great Rift Valley begins beyond the sources of the River Jordan and extends south through the Dead Sea (the lowest point in the world), into the Red Sea, continuing on into Eastern Africa.
Government: Republic. The state of Israel was founded in 1948.
