A note of explanation - and apology - for the absence of posts on this blog for the past three months.
My editors in London and I have agreed to put it on hold while we are rethinking how the Guardian and its foreign correspondents can best use blogs to add depth to our general news coverage of the countries and regions in which we are based.
Since I started the blog a year ago, the Guardian has run an almost-daily live blog on the upheavals in the Middle East. We are reviewing if and how View From Jerusalem fits with that, and whether my time would be better spent contributing to a regional political blog.
This is part of constant evaluation and review of the Guardian's digital journalism as we experiment with different ways of telling stories in a medium which itself changes and advances rapidly.
We haven't yet come to firm decisions about View From Jerusalem and our wider Middle East coverage. But while we continue discussions, this blog will be in abeyance.
In the meantime, bookmark here and here for coverage of Israel and the Palestinian territories, and this for wider Middle East coverage. You will find comment and debate about the region here.
