U.S. Secretary of Defense in Israel

The U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, has arrived in Israel to try to get the stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians back up and running. This comes in the wake of a terrorist attack in Jerusalem and an IDF (Israeli Defense Force) strike on Gaza.

It will be interesting to monitor:
1. If the violence continues to escalate after a somewhat calm period of time
2. How much pressure is the U.S. going to exert for peace talks to resume.
