Israeli seeks interim deal with Palestinians	20.5.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Josef Federman The Associated Press Published May 19, 2013 05:50PM MDT Jerusalem • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s senior coalition partner says that reaching a final peace agreement with the Palestinians is unrealistic at the current time and the sides should instead pursue an interim arrangement. Finance Minister Yair Lapid’s assessment, delivered in a published interview Sunday just days before the arrival of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, throws a contentious idea into the mix as the U.S. searches for ways to restart peace talks. It remains unclear wh... ...

'Oslo is dead: time for a fresh start'	3.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Ian Black : European statesmen express 'strong concern about the dying chances of a settlement based on two separate, sovereign and peaceful states of Israel and Palestine.' Diplomatic initiatives to advance the cause of Israeli-Palestinian peace have been launched and sunk for as long as the conflict has been going on. Now an attempt to break the impasse is being made by a group of leading Europeans who are convinced that the time has come to speak some harsh truths out loud — and change the rules of the game. Elements of the appeal include recognizing the following: the 1991 Madrid and 1993 Oslo agreements — the latter between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization — are moribund. Solutions based on the West Bank but excluding the Gaza Strip while perpetuating the split between the PLO and Hamas, will not work. The EU, long derided as a "payer but not a player," must have a more equal role alongside the US. The Palestinian territories are under occupation. A "peace process" ...

Fayyad's Choice	22.4.2013	American Prospect
AP Photo/Majdi Mohammed Salam Fayyad S alam Fayyad has formally resigned his post as prime minister of the Palestinian Authority. Note the word formally . In the half-presidential, half-parliamentary, mostly improvised political system of the Palestinian non-state, Fayyad will apparently stay on until President Mahmoud Abbas appoints a replacement, or until elections are held, or indeterminately as his resignation fades from memory. It would be wrong to say that Fayyad has become a caretaker prime minister, because he has always been a caretaker. Abbas appointed Fayyad to head an emergency government in 2007, when the attempt at power-sharing between Abbas's Fatah movement and the Islamicist Hamas movement ended in a brief civil war. The Palestinian parliament, where Hamas has a majority, never approved the appointment. Both the president and parliament have outlived their legal terms of office. Yet Fatah continues to rule the West Bank, just as Hamas keeps ruling ...
