Netanyahu tells Obama: ‘Israel has been doing its part … the Palestinians have not’
|
4.3.2014 |
Salt Lake Tribune |
| Washington • Seeking to salvage an elusive Middle East peace plan, President Barack Obama pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday to make the “tough decisions” needed to move forward on talks with the Palestinians.
But facing a U.S.-imposed April deadline, the Israeli leader declared pessimistically that, “Israel has been doing its part and, I regret to say, the Palestinians have not.” Netanyahu’s comments underscored the slim prospects of reaching an agreement to the long-runn... |

If Mao and Chiang Kai-shek could defer core issues, so can Israel and the Palestinians
|
28.2.2014 |
LA Times: Commentary |
A Shanghai Communique-type solution might break the long-running Middle East impasse.
Israelis and Palestinians are facing their most difficult negotiation since Menachem Begin flew west to face Egyptian President Anwar Sadat a generation ago at Camp David. If Israel were to end its long occupation, if Palestinians were to unite and forswear violence, if two states were able to share an eternal capital in Jerusalem and bind up the wounds of their long enmity, then a viable Palestinian state could emerge to live in peace with its most prominent and powerful neighbor. |

John Kerry's plans to solve Israel-Palestine conflict will not run smoothly
|
27.2.2014 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Details about US secretary of state's framework proposals have been leaked, but what matters more is that a deal can be done
Unlike other US secretaries of state who have tried their hand at solving the Israel-Palestine conflict, John Kerry has managed to keep people guessing about his plans. It was inevitable as the deadline approached for reaching a " framework agreement " that details would start to leak. Washington is unlikely to confirm their accuracy. But they do not boost the already low expectations that a workable deal can be done.
Reported proposals for a Palestinian capital in the east Jerusalem suburb of Beit Hanina, Israel's retention of 10 West Bank settlement blocs, permanent control of the Jordan valley and the demand to recognise Israel as a Jewish homeland do not add up to a package that would likely be acceptable to even the most pliable Palestinian leader: thus the claim that President Mahmoud Abbas "exploded" when told of it by Kerry in Paris last weekend.

The America-Israel lobby must fully back Kerry's Israel-Palestine initiative
|
27.2.2014 |
Guardian: Comment is Free |
| Aipac has done much to strengthen the US-Israel relationship over decades of its existence. Now it should support Kerry
Next week's annual National Policy Conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) is shaping up to be another truly dramatic moment of US political theater.
US Secretary of State John Kerry, who has impressed Israelis and Palestinians alike with his tireless and determined efforts to broker a Mideast peace agreement, will come face-to-face with Aipac, whose leaders and supporters have passionately opposed Barack Obama's Iran policy but have so far shown little visible enthusiasm for Kerry's Israel-Palestine initiative.
Kerry will no doubt try to persuade a skeptical (and possibly heated) audience why the Obama administration's attempt to resolve the Iranian nuclear crisis diplomatically will also strengthen Israel's security. But the meat of Kerry's address will likely be an appeal to the 14,000 delegates to get behind his Israel-Palestine peace ... |

Gaza left out of Mideast peace talks

Washington Post: World |
| GAZA CITY — This crowded bit of Mediterranean shore is a long way from the closed-door rooms where Israeli and Palestinian negotiators are holding the first real peace talks in years.
But as Secretary of State John F. Kerry prepares to publicly present outlines of a proposed peace deal, the isolated and besieged Palestinian territory called the Gaza Strip is the rarely mentioned elephant in the bargaining room — a huge obstacle to a permanent settlement of the decades-old conflict. ... |
