(CNN) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered to meet Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas one-on-one every two weeks to discuss "the agenda for a peace agreement," he said Sunday.

Hizbullah Arms Depot Explodes

(AP-Washington Post) Ian Deitch - A series of blasts ripped through a building in the Hizbullah-dominated village of Shehabiyeh in southern Lebanon on Friday. Israel's military said Saturday that surveillance footage from drones shows that the explosions occurred at a residential building used by Hizbullah as a weapons depot. The footage shows Hizbullah militants removing weapons from the site and transferring them to other Hizbullah facilities. Israeli military spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich said it was the third time this year that explosions have torn through a Hizbullah weapons cache. She accused the group of maintaining military facilities - including bunkers and storage depots for large quantities of weapons - in 160 villages across southern Lebanon. The blasts occurred south of the Litani River, a zone where Hizbullah is banned from keeping weapons under a UN resolution that ended the 2006 war.

Day of Anti-Israel Protest Reveals Iran's Internal Rift
09/06/2010 07:52 AM
(Wall Street Journal) Farnaz Fassihi - Iran's government used annual pro-Palestinian demonstrations Friday to renew its threat to wipe Israel off the map, while dissident leaders accused the regime of using verbal attacks on Israel to divert attention from its battle with domestic political opponents. Iranian President Ahmadinejad attacked Washington's efforts to mediate between Israel and the Palestinians, saying no one has the right to negotiate away any Palestinian land. Ahmadinejad called on all Muslims to prepare for a final battle to free Jerusalem. Dissident leader Mir Hossein Mousavi issued a statement saying, "The orchestrated violence against the opposition shows that the occupation of Jerusalem and Israel is just an excuse. They consider their real enemy people who are fighting to free our country from oppression." Mousavi also condemned an attack on another opposition leader, Mehdi Karroubi, whose Tehran residence was raided Thursday by militia members loyal to the government.
