Israel is getting the a relief from Obama's (through Kerry) pressure.

why do israel keep up with that arab charade? when talks are coming too close to some point to agree on, they come back with an other totally IDIOTIC DEMAND. how about ctting ALL ties with gaza and fhurer abbas, and build israel like there was no tomorrow. LONG LIVE THE JEWISH STATE!!!

Israel has done her part so far in negotiation. Palestinian has done nothing, only grumbling, complaining, accusing - and blackmailing from the start.

I am sure that you would have been one of the people that along with the Palestinians refused to accept the State of Israel on Nov 30 1947. Yet here you are today sucking air in order for the Israelis to agree to it now. It ain't gonna happen. too much changed since 1947. Tough concessions on land exchanges are the way now. Jerusalem. Forget it. Take what is available now or fight for it.

Abbas has a very narrowed view on the world. Of course in his eyes, "Land for peace" is not blackmailing. Translated into normal language it just says: Give us the land or we continue with the terror.

Lets make from peace talks between israelis and palestinians a scenario for life. Lets hear what both leaders Netanyahu and Abbas have to say, what is their message to young generations that are expecting from them a succesful peace agreement. Today more than ever global society is asking from leaders transparency. Perhaps it could be a good idea to take the peace talks to a tv debate in Israel, like those presidential debates that are held in democracies from the west, but instead of candidates runing for office, put Netanyahu and Abbas on the tv screen for the debate and moderators. Tv ratings audience, polls if you wish, the debates should not be a show, but it could be broadcasted live and translated to english and arabic as well. Thanks

Thank you, milson

Israel cannot allow itself to be blamed by U.S. for the collapse of, as you rightly call it, farce. It is enough embroiled with the EU and American administration without such a move.

Agree with you that radical actions need to be taken including withdrawal from areas A and B , Israel to annex area C including East Jerusalem . Severing all economic cooperation with the PA / West Bank . Take Abbas and the PA to the ICC for crimes against humanity before during and since Second Intifada . Palestinian psychopaths remain incarcerated for the remaining terms of sentence . Block you from polluting this website

To its homeland: Saudi Arabia.

Hello, earth to Matilde. You need to address your post to Secretary of State, Israel, if you'd like to see a TV debate between Bibi & Abass. Fantastic idea, you could also request attendance from Kermit & Miss.Piggy!

well said. just disagreeing with your questing weather he is a shmuck. it should have been not a question, but a statement. :))

No group on earth slings the crap as well as the Palestinians. Every time Israel wants something for doing something much bigger than the Palestinians EVER do, it's either 'blackmail" or "criminal" or 'apartheid" or "zionist hegemony"... never something to negotiate. All the more sad and stupid because as long as the Palestinians have the Catherine Ashton's and the UN's of the world convinced that theirs is the only truth, there's no hope for peace. Once those fools in Brussels decide to demand from the Palestinians no less than they force on the Jews, it will change. But not until.

Decade in the Future groups Suicidal PsychoSatanic will have WMD capacity and the Land has to prepare The Jordan Valley and Surrounds needs International Forces including a Large IDf contingent and much of Judea and Samaria and Pre 1967 Israel Prepared .This is the Essential Threat.

Behind every question is a statement!

2. Go straight to the UN 3.. WB Arabs have more rights the est. Euro migrants squatters 4 50,000 Jews who fell for Israels 'land for people without land bs' is not Palestinians problem 5. Israels borders are entrenched in the UN and there is nowhere in the ME that isn't going to be next to 300 mil justifiable angry Muslim

If Abbas attends the talks or not the World already knows NOTHING outside Israels UNILATERALLY declared borders belongs to Israel. What Kerry is trying to do is convince/bribe Abbas not to take his case to the UN because the US will no longer use its veto to support Israels illegal annexation, illegal settlements on illegally occupied land.

...Not Afraid. But, if I have to choose between Palestinian, and self-hating Jew, I choose the latter, in solidarity with the sane Jews on the Left that support peace.

Recognize this is an excellent idea: /Netanyahu and Abbas will not be able to blackmail one each other/

her land to the pals and leave Israel. And, you thought he was a friend? Not to the Jews. KEEP BUILDING!!!
