| 2013-11-07 |
[Al Ahram] Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday accused the Paleostinians of creating "artificial crises" as he met with US 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... , who is striving to rescue the fragile grinding of the peace processor. The premier's remarks were made at the start of a meeting with Kerry at a Jerusalem hotel that lasted nearly three hours and came shortly after the Paleostinians threatened to bolt the talks over a fresh row about settlements. Kerry arrived in Israel late on Tuesday as rumours swirled that the US-brokered peace talks that resumed in late July had produced absolutely no sign of progress and were on the brink of collapse. "I am concerned about (the talks') progress because I see the Paleostinians continuing with incitements, continuing to create artificial crises, continuing to... run away from the historic decisions that are needed to make a genuine peace," Netanyahu said in remarks to news hounds. "I hope your visit will help steer them back to a place where we could achieve the historical peace that we seek," he retorted. But Kerry sought to calm the situation, pleading for patience. "We are three months into this negotiation... there are always difficulties, always tensions," he said. "We need the space to negotiate privately, secretly, quietly." Progress was possible with "a serious effort" on both sides, he said. "I hope we will continue in the good faith that brought the parties together in the first place." |
