Secretary of State John Kerry’s latest “emergency” visit to Israel to try to salvage peace talks has been cancelled outright tonight, with signs that Israel isn’t going to accept a settlement freeze and Palestinian officials aren’t going to wait forever on prisoner releases.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is moving closer to seeking UN recognition of Palestinian independence as well, with officials saying he has signed 15 conventions, including the Geneva Convention and several UN agency agreements.
Kerry claims Abbas has “given his word” to remain open to negotiations through the end of the month, when the current round of peace talks is scheduled to expire at any rate.
New talks are unlikely, however, after Israel reneged on a prisoner release this past weekend, and Israel is unlikely to back-track without receiving a princely sum from the US, meaning that the next few weeks are more a question of if Kerry can broker a grand bargain for a few more months of talks than whether the current talks will accomplish anything.
The intention of USG or fir that the European governing body never was or is going to be the implementation and rightfully so the Palestinians rights having their stolen lands returned, or for Palestinians have their state as Palestine. These regimes they have made it worse for Palestinians then doing any good for them, hence, each and every time Israeli apartheid regime demands sky rocketing each and every time there is this or other Kerry or John or Tony negotiating for Palestinians to negotiate. The world of charlatans, the elite of Zionism and their EU-USG allies never wanted peace in Middle East, this is a historical facts since the Iran-Tehran conference by the end of Second World War, nothing has changed since, but more wars and cop de Etta’s, deceitful politics been orchestrated by EU-USG then any real and negotiable peace talks. Israel won’t understand the word peace, unless is brought to them by an international and complete economic and political sanction, as the very same “peace loving” governments as Tony Blair of England and Bill Clinton of America proposed and implemented in Iraq.
I heard recently that Shalom effectively translates to "peace through strength." I suppose they feel that there is no need for real peace talks with Palestine, since they have become the suzerain lord of the Palestinian leadership and are using Palestinian soldiers to violently oppress their own population. After all, Israel already has "shalom" so why all this talk of peace? They must feel its quaint for non-Palestinians and especially Americans to get upset that we are funding the world's largest Gulag while our own nation is crumbling under our feet. Also, did anyone else notice the suspicious attack a couple days ago in the Straits of Hormuz. Supposedly they were in a speedboat and were wearing military uniforms…Iranian no doubt. I'm sure that Mossad knew Abbas was about to sign these agreements and they were trying their best to derail Abbas and Iran's negotiations at the same time. Luckily for us Israel is completely tone deaf to American opinion and apparently didn't realize that our politicians, knowing that Americans would easily recognize this as a false flag attack, didn't wanna risk their popularity by distributing Mossad's lies. Israel is so tone deaf that they gave Netanyahu the sobriquet of "the great communicator" because they thought he would be pleasing to US citizens. Netanyahu has devastated US-Israel relations and is alienating huge numbers of American jews. He has damaged Israel more than the most effective anti-semite ever could…
Rather than offer a "princely sum" to Israel to continue negotiations, Kerry should offer to cut $100 million permanently from US aid to Israel for every day they refuse to do so.
How about sanctions? Everyone seems to be getting hit who hasn't toed the line.
"…current round of peace talks is scheduled to expire…"
Why do "talks" have expiration dates? Is this like the trade deadline in the NHL?
Only 'peace talks' that are designed to fail. After all, we can't have uncontrolled peace talks that might accidentally expand into the dates planned for the next war. That just isn't efficient and its not how we make our trains run on time.
Kerry is chickens-it. He, like the rest of the Washington crowd is worried about falling off (or getting shoved off) the Zionist gravy train, How disgusting that our country and its leaders choose to do what pays off personally for themselves rather than to do what is right. Good thing Mt Rushmore is filled up – otherwise some corrupt bozo might suggest that one of these "gutless wonders" that we have, needs to be so elevated.

you mean like Ronnie Ray-gun…the repugs were pushing for his enshrinement on Rushmore years ago – keeps coming up every now and then.
No wonder Hamas won the elections. How can they expect Abbas to be successful getting his people to accept a peace deal when the US keeps on undermining him every step of the way.
Is there a reason the world is so possessed by what the Jews do in Israel , is it jealousy is it guilt . Do everyone a favor tell the Jews in ur country to leave . And then watch ur economy falter ur innovation stop ur best and brightest cease to be. The world has a love to hate relationship with it it’s Jews . So once and for all ship us back to our desert that we made bloom, alive preferably . Just think how the un can then focus on hating ur own governments and create revolutions till ur hungry broke and jobless. The Jew is eternal we are ur moral compass and a thermometer of just how twisted u are . Because if we are amongst u we will be the best of u. And if u except us as brothers we will become twisted and perverse until we hate ourselves more than u hate us. So focus ur Jew hate one last time so we may leave ur morally destitute places of living and ur gds whom u have stopped worshiping in favor of free will and do what u feel like.
