Uri Ariel: There is no hope coalition will sign peace treaty with Palestinians
[Jerusalem Post] The current talks with the Palestinians are unlikely to go anywhere because of both sides terms, Construction and Housing Minister Uri Ariel predicted Wednesday.
Everyone in the coalition agrees, including [Justice Minister Tzipi] Livni and [Finance Minister Yair] Lapid, that the major settlement blocs will remain intact, the Jordan Valley will remain part of Israel, there cannot be a right of return and Jerusalem will remain united. The other side wants the right of return, wont recognize Israel as Jewish and doesnt want any Jews on their land, Ariel pointed out.
If you ask me if we can reach an agreement with those terms, I say no, he added.
Ariel called the continuing talks déjà vu, saying theres no way for a breakthrough as US Secretary of State John Kerry has no room to maneuver.
Déjà vu all over again. Another waste of AVGAS by the US. Stay home, stay out of it.
