This sounds purposeful, and positive.
“I believe that with a little more work, the start of final-status negotiations could be within reach,” he told reporters before he prepared to fly out of Israel. “The gaps were very broad when we began. They are now, I think, very narrow.”
"Netanyahu said his country was ready to enter into negotiations without delay or conditions."

Here, there is mixed news as well. I hope and pray we can individually and collectively contribute enough to bring our CO2 emissions down enough to save our planet from irreparable harm from climate change and rising seas. Many say it's too late, which is the time to definitely not give up, but to engage and step up our actions even further.
Of course, the Supreme Court rulings this week were big, and mixed. Voter Rights got diminished, but Gay Marriage got accredited.

Obama Will Announce Regulation Of CO2 From Existing Power Plants On Tuesday

What’s striking about this frank admission of the way extreme weather is ravaging Texas is that it stands alongside Perry’s ongoing dogged refusal — backed by many of the state’s other Republicans — to acknowledge the science that links these weather shifts to climate change and human-driven global warming.

Good. India and it's crops get increasingly hammered by monsoons. You'd think an intellectually advanced society like India would put the future on highest priority.
