Love in the air: "An Israeli diplomat who sat in on the recent meeting between Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he could not remember a more jovial and affable conversation between an Israeli head of state and his French counterpart. The suspicions and tensions that loomed large over many similar meetings in the past had vanished. The diplomat added that the two related to each other as though they were representing sister states. "Sarkozy did not hide his great support for Israel and openly expressed how impressed he was by the young country's achievements," the diplomat said." (thanks Emily)
