Kerry: We're Working on Approach that Guarantees Israel Security, Palestinian Sovereignty
 [An Nahar] U.S. Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... said Friday he hoped to help achieve a peace agreement encompassing Israeli security needs and Paleostinian illusory sovereignty, as he wrapped up his regional visit. But Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... dampened hopes by rejecting U.S. proposals for Israel to keep a military presence in a future Paleostinian state. "We are working on an approach that both guarantees Israel's security and fully respects Paleostinian illusory sovereignty," Kerry told news hounds in Tel Aviv before boarding a plane to Vietnam. Kerry insisted the goal remained for the sides "to reach a final status agreement - not an interim agreement," and said Israel will release as planned a new group of Paleostinian prisoners on December 29. "Both parties remain committed to fulfilling their obligations to stay at the table and negotiate hard during the nine-month period that we set for that" when talks were launched at the end of July, said Kerry.
