President Obama met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.  They began negotiations on a new nuclear arms treaty and President Obama accepted an invitation to visit Moscow in July.

At his handover ceremony, Israel’s new far-right foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, said that Israel is not bound by the 2007 Annapolis agreement to reach a peace deal with the Palestinians.  Outgoing foreign minister Tzipi Livni interrupted him while other diplomats “shift[ed] uncomfortably.”  Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas says new Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not believe in peace.

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Robert Gates is lobbying for more money for the State Department in the face of a proposal by Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad to cut $4 billion in international relations and foreign aid.
