Israeli Labor MP Merav Michaeli, an outspoken advocate of a peace deal with the Palestinians, surprised many today when he came out publicly against the US pushing new talks on the Netanyahu government.
Michaeli said that the efforts wouldn’t accomplish anything and indeed would deepen mistrust because he believes the Netanyahu government isn’t sincere in making a deal right now.
“Israelis need to want to reach an agreement,” Michaeli noted, adding that until then the efforts would just lead to endless talks that don’t amount to anything. The last round of talks have stalled for years since Israel scrapped a settlement freeze.
The US has been pressing the Palestinians to abandon all preconditions in talks and pressing Israel to make some minor concessions, though so far both sides remain far apart and it seems unlikely talks will break out any time soon.
The voting majority in this fiction state called Israel, surely it is the 51% most wealthy and the politicians they love the most are the ones that achieve expansion the most.
If the US is pressuring the Israeli to make peace with Palestinians why is Israel blaming the Palestinians for not wanting peace?
Because they are liars. They celebrate this sort of thing, called chutzpah. They're very proud of it.
He's right. Talks now would just be cover for Netanyahu to abuse both us and the Palestinians.
Merav Michaeli is a woman.
It's just one alibi after another for Alibi Israel.
