US official: No short-cuts to Mideast peace
None
US National Security Advisor Thomas Donilon said Friday that the Obama administration will no longer remain satisfied with the current stalemate in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
"An enduring two state solution can only be achieved through negotiations. There are no short-cuts. But no one should take comfort in the status quo. As we have learned in the Middle East, the status quo is never static. There are demographic and technological clocks that keep ticking," he said. (Yitzhak Benhorin, Washington)
