GAZA, July 4 (KUNA) -- US envoys have visited Israel to try to find ways of
resume Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, according to the Israeli radio on
Monday.
The US envoys Dennis B. Ross and David Hale, visited Israel a couple of
days ago to push the stalled peace talks, the radio added.
It asserted that the reason of stalled peace talks came as result of
Palestinain dispute on the Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank,
which Israel has occupied in 1967, in addition to Israel refusing to back down
from its decisions.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Israeli ministerial forum
discussed the Israeli-Palestinian peace process with US efforts.
The meeting came shortly after the press announcement of Israeli official
close to Netanyahu that said the 1967 borders equality and the exchange of
land between Palestinians is considered a" joke".
According to Media, the US President Barack Obama and Netanyahu
communication gap makes it difficult for negotiations on borders and security,
and failed efforts of US envoys Hale and Ross.
Meanwhile, Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat accompanied by
Presidential spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh will visit Washington on Wednesday
to meet with top US officials to push the peace efforts.(end)
