Meet The Press
The State of U.S.-Israeli Relations
As tensions build between Israel and Iran, where does the relationship between the United States and Israel stand? We'll talk exclusively with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu

The race between President Obama and Governor Romney has entered new territory as the deadly attack on a U.S. consulate and the continuing anti-American protests overseas have forced foreign policy back into the spotlight. How does the Obama administration plan to respond? Plus, is the U.S. still a reliable ally to Israel against Iran? U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice will join us

The deadly attack on U.S. assets overseas has renewed questions about the Obama administration's handling of the Arab Spring and the president's world view. How has America's position in the world changed in the past three and a half years? Our Special Roundtable will examine the real differences in foreign policy views coming from both sides through the lens of the campaign. Joining us, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN ); Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, Rep Peter King (R-NY); author of the new book "The Price of Politics," The Washington Post’s, Bob Woodward; the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg; and NBC's Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent, Andrea Mitchell

ABC This Week
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice speaks to ABC News senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper on the deadly attacks and anti-American protests sweeping across the Middle East.

After four Americans were killed Tuesday, including U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, in an assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, questions remain about what sparked the violence – a controversial anti-Islamic film, or a planned attack by Al Qaeda militants? As American embassies throughout the region remain under fire, did the U.S. do enough to prevent attacks in Libya, Egypt, and Yemen? How will the ongoing protests and violence across the region impact U.S. relations and standing in the Middle East?

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice speaks to ABC News senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper, Sunday on "This Week."

General Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe; PBS' "Washington Week" moderator and managing editor Gwen Ifill; and ABC News senior political correspondent Jonathan Karl

As protests continue raging across the Muslim world, how will the crisis overseas impact the U.S. presidential election? Did Mitt Romney's attacks against President Obama's response to the Middle East violence backfire as politicizing the crisis, or will his aggressive response give him an opening on national security? Plus, how will the Federal Reserve's latest stimulus effort impact the economy? And what are the national political implications of the Chicago teacher strike?

Sunday's Guests (Sept. 16): Chicago teachers strike, poverty's role in American culture, education, & the presidential campaign

Tomorrow we'll be taking a close look at poverty figures released this week by the Census Bureau, which show that nearly one in six Americans are living in poverty. We'll examine the poverty crisis through the lens of education by talking about the teachers' strike in Chicago. We'll also discuss representations of poverty in our culture and in our politics, and we'll highlight a stunning new report which shows that poverty has been essentially ignored by the media covering presidential campaign.
