Elsewhere, Obama moved to reestablish diplomatic ties with Cuba in December 2014. He and Cuban President Raul Castro announced the normalizing of diplomatic relations between the countries for the first time since 1961. The policy change came after the exchange of American citizen Alan Gross and another unnamed American intelligence agent for three Cuban spies. However, the long-standing U.S. economic embargo on Cuba, instituted by President John F. Kennedy, remained in effect. On March 20, 2016, Obama became the first sitting American president to visit Cuba since 1928, as part of his larger program to establish greater cooperation between the two countries.

The term Middle East was born in the beginning of the twentieth century. It would have been unthinkable without a series of spatial transformations in the nineteenth century, including the deployment of new steamer and telegraph lines, railways, and the Suez Canal, which together constituted a new West-East route via Egypt and gradually replaced the long sea voyage to India around the Cape of Good Hope. The geography we now deem natural was produced by these technologies of transportation and communication. He called on politicians and American citizens to come together despite their differences. “Understand, democracy does not require uniformity,” he said. “Our founders quarreled, and compromised, and expected us to do the same.

When the Sayeret was preparing for its PLO assassination operation in Beirut, for instance, Barak had to stand one of his team down – because Yonatan “Yoni” Netanyahu was Benjamin’s brother, and there was an unwritten rule not to send brothers into combat together. Barak describes Yoni, who became a good friend and lived in the same building, as a different character from Bibi: bookish, a lover of poetry, thoughtful, often troubled. But both were under the thrall of a father whose Greater Israel ideology Bibi – “a good soldier”, and “not a lightweight” – is now attempting to impose on Israel, and whose expectations both sons always struggled to live up to. Yoni died in the otherwise successful Entebbe operation and there is a moving moment in the memoir when Barak goes to see his body.

We want some 1.1 million people to leave the northern Gaza Strip. Some 800,000 have already moved. Hamas is threatening them and telling the civilians to stay and to even concentrate among certain places where they know that we know they have command posts or other installations or infrastructure. It’s a tragedy, but we cannot give Hamas impunity because they are using their coercive power over the citizens.Rich nations are said to be resisting any commitments as they do not want to accept liability and risk being sued, while developing countries argue it is the rich countries that are responsible for most of today's climate change impacts because they started emitting vast quantities of carbon much earlier than the rest of the world.
