#2: Arab Israeli Conflict and European Crisis

AIC Reflection:
The country I am representing in the AIC is Egypt. Egypt is recovering from its rise up against Mubarak, and is currently in a state of financial reform. As a representative of Egypt, my main goals are to aid Palestine in attaining Statehood, whilst at the same time maintaining good relations with Israel, and the USA - who Egypt is depending on for Financial support. In order to accomplish these goals we need establish a solid role as a mediator, supporting both the Palestinians and the Israeli's.  

Europe Crisis:
The European debt crisis is a serious issue effecting countries across the globe. The countries which are suffering the most include Greece,Italy, Ireland and Portugal. However the countries centered in the spotlight are Greece, and now Italy. Recently some of Greece's problems were solved, when their Prime Minister, Papandreou resigned -after he 'contemplated' accepting a financial package from the EU, now that he has resigned Greece is led by a coelition. However Italy was also under the threat of defaulting, their $2.2 Trillion debt making them the most in-debt country in Europe, and the third most in-debt country in the world. The Prime Minister of Italy has also recently resigned, after being pressured due to his poor leadership during this crisis.
