Israeli-Palestinian Talks to Start Monday
On one level this is great news because everyone wants to see a resolution of some kind. But it’s a bit difficult to get very hopeful after the last, oh, two decades or so: US Says Israeli-Palestinian Talks to Start Monday.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department says Israeli and Palestinian negotiators will resume long-stalled direct peace talks on Monday.
The department announced Sunday that the two sides had accepted invitations from Secretary of State John Kerry to come to Washington “to formally resume direct final status negotiations.” The department said two days of initial meetings will begin Monday evening.
