US denies Israeli-Palestinian meeting cancelled
[Ynet] Despite reports that Monday's Jericho peace meet nixed after Paleostinains killed in festivities with IDF, US insists: No meeting has been cancelled.
The United States insisted Monday that no meeting planned as part of the ongoing Israeli-Paleostinian grinding of the peace processor had been cancelled, despite claims to the contrary.
"Reality? We don't need no stinking reality! Tea?" | "I can assure you that no meeting has been cancelled," State Department spokesperson Marie Harf told news hounds, after reports a session had been cancelled after Israeli forces rubbed out three Paleostinians.
Earlier, a senior Paleostinian official had told AFP talks that had been due to be held in Jericho later on Monday had been put on hold because of what he termed this "Israeli crime committed in Qalandiya today."
The US State Department, which is mediating the talks process and has representatives attending, denied this, but refused to say whether or not such a meeting had taken place.
