"Meet The Press" - Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Under fire from Republican presidential candidates over his policy towards Israel, President Obama this week delivered a statement of support for America’s strongest ally in the region after the Palestinians made a bid for official recognition by the United Nations. We'll hear from Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to get his take on the peace process, where it can go from here, and how he sees Israel’s unique relationship with the United States.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg The debate on taxes take a turn as accusations of class warfare dominate the political discussion. Meanwhile, Wall Street has another volatile week and still no signs of a recovering job market. We’ll be joined exclusively by New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg (I). As part of NBC’s commitment to Education Nation, we’ll talk to the mayor about the link between reforming our education system and remaining competitive in the global economy.

Christiane Amanpour talks with White House Senior Advisor David Plouffe about the battle to sell the president's economic plans.

With the U.S. stock market in turmoil, can the White House turn the economy around as the political season goes into full swing? And as Palestinians push for statehood at the U.N., how will the administration navigate through difficult diplomatic waters? White House Senior Advisor David Plouffe, Sunday on "This Week."

Then, as the pain in the global economy is felt on Wall Street and in 401(k)s, what are the prospects for bringing America back from the brink of another downturn? George Will, former Obama economic adviser and University of Chicago professor Austan Goolsbee, top investment manager PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian, and Chrystia Freeland of Thompson Reuters debate whether the world is on the cusp of a double-dip recession. Can it be avoided and what does it mean for you?

And Republicans White House hopefuls face off in their latest contentious debate. Did Rick Perry stumble? Has Michele Bachmann's star faded? And is Mitt Romney winning by default? Republican strategist Mary Matalin, Democratic strategist Donna Brazile and ABC News Political Director Amy Walter join George Will to debate which GOP candidate came out on top and whether any of them has what it takes to challenge President Obama.

Plus, as the Palestinians push for statehood at the U.N., will the move leave the stalled peace process in tatters? Top Palestinian activist Hanan Ashrawi talks about the bold move and what it means in the wake of the Arab Spring.

Then the Republicans’ 2012 field debates and two candidates stand out for different reasons. Does the party need to broaden its appeal? We’ll ask Indiana’s Republican Governor Mitch Daniels, who flirted with the idea of challenging President Obama.

And a new poll shows a majority of Americans blame President Obama for the country’s teetering economy. Is this a watershed moment in Obama’s presidency? USA Today’s Washington bureau chief Susan Page and TIME Magazine’s deputy bureau chief, Michael Crowley will join us.
