In 2010   he  wrote and directed Joaquin Phoenix in âIâm Still Here â a mockumentary about Phoenixâs supposed transition from acting to becoming a rap musician.

question:
Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri  arrived back in Lebanon two weeks after  he  announced  his  surprise resignation while in Saudi Arabia. Within hours of landing at Beirut International Airport  Hariri shocked the country by announcing he had put his resignation "on hold" while talks with Hezb'allah and other political factions are underway.
Al Jazeera's Zein Khodr  reporting from Beirut  said that Hariri's tone has shifted since he gave his resignation speech two weeks ago. "He [Hariri] didn't even mention Hezbollah or Iran[.] ... He even said that he's looking forward to a partnership with all political parties in the country "What is clear is that there has been intensive discussions behind closed doors " she said. "The resignation was an attempt by Saudi Arabia to curb Hezbollah's influence[.] ... That attempt backfired[.] ...  Hariri  was conciliatory in  his  message."
What is going on? Whatever influence Saudi Arabia was exercising over  Hariri  has weakened since  he  left the kingdom. Before returning to Lebanon   Hariri  had meetings with several leaders  including Macron of France and el-Sisi of Egypt. France has a keen interest in what happens in Lebanon  since the tiny nation is a former French colony. And as a Sunni regional power  Egypt is on the front lines of resisting the spread of Iran's influence.
Those "intense discussions" almost certainly included Hezb'allah. Given that  Hariri  cited threats against  his  life by pro-Iranian and pro-Syrian factions in Lebanon as a primary reason for  his  resignation  it is possible that some sort of backroom deal with the terrorists was struck that gives certain assurances to  Hariri  regarding  his  personal safety. For Hezb'allah  part of that deal could have included  Hariri  promising to back away from Saudi Arabia.

Lebanon's Prime Minister Hariri puts resignation 'on hold'


question:
MUNICH (AP) â The nuclear deal with Iran has emboldened Tehran to become increasingly aggressive in the Middle East   Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  said Sunday  warning that Iran should "not test Israel's resolve" as  he  showed off what  he  said was part of a downed Iranian drone.
 Netanyahu  said of Iran that if the U.S. decides to scrap the 2015 nuclear deal  which  he  has long opposed  "I think they'll do nothing."
But Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif  appearing two hours later at the same Munich Security Conference  fired back that  Netanyahu 's comment was "delusional thinking."
Kerry dismissed  Netanyahu 's contention that Iran would be on its way to having a nuclear arsenal in 10 years  saying "that's fundamentally not accurate."

 Netanyahu  told world leaders  diplomats and defense officials at the conference that the deal was similar to the infamous 1938 "Munich Agreement" that Western powers signed with Adolf Hitler in an attempt to stave off war in Europe  which became synonymous with appeasement.
"The concessions to Hitler only emboldened the Nazi regime "  he  said. "Rather than choosing a path that might have prevented war... those well-intentioned leaders made a wider war inevitable and far more costly."
Similarly   he  said  the Iranian nuclear agreement has "unleashed a dangerous Iranian tiger in our region and beyond."
Declaring that Iran's "brazenness hit new highs "  he  theatrically held up a fragment of what  he  said was an Iranian drone shot down last week by Israel in Israeli airspace and challenged Zarif.
"Mr. Zarif  do you recognize this? You should  it's yours "  Netanyahu  said. "You can take back with you a message to the tyrants of Tehran â do not test Israel's resolve!"
Tehran has denied that the drone belonged to Iran. Zarif on Sunday dismissed  Netanyahu 's stunt as "a cartoonish circus... which does not even deserve the dignity of a response."
Iranian troops  along with Hezbollah and other Iranian-backed Shiite forces  have aided Syrian President Bashar Assad in his war against rebel groups.  Netanyahu  has repeatedly warned that  he  will not accept a permanent Iranian military presence in postwar Syria  fearing that Iran and its Shiite allies would turn their attention to Israel.

 Netanyahu  has been projecting a business-as-usual approach on  his  visit to Germany amid uproar at home after police on Tuesday said was sufficient evidence to indict  him  for bribery  fraud and breach of trust in two cases.  The Israeli leader  has angrily rejected the accusations and denounced what  he  describes as an overzealous police investigation.  He  has also dismissed the accusations as a witch hunt orchestrated by a hostile media.
Zarif suggested  Netanyahu  might be escalating tensions with Iran simply to distract from  his  domestic problems.
Denouncing what  he  said were Israel's "almost daily illegal incursions into Syrian airspace " Zarif said Israel was trying "to create these cartoonish images to blame others for its own strategic blunders  or maybe to evade the domestic crisis they're facing."
