MADAyuMadyan - Gambaran
yang suram rundingan damai Timur Tengah
telah dicat oleh Perdana Menteri Israel Setiausaha Negara Amerika Syarikat John
Kerry mengejar diplomasi, bertujuan untuk mendapatkan perjanjian.
Benjamin
Netanyahu berkata rundingan dengan Palestin telah gagal untuk membuat kemajuan
sebenar dan beliau berharap Kerry, yang melawat Israel, boleh mendapatkan
mereka kembali ke landasan.
“Saya
mengambil berat tentang kemajuan mereka kerana saya melihat rakyat Palestin
berterusan dengan hasutan, berterusan untuk mewujudkan krisis tiruan, terus
mengelak dan lari daripada keputusan bersejarah yang diperlukan untuk membuat
kedamaian sejati,” kata Netanyahu.
Mesyuarat
Presiden Palestin, Mahmoud Abbas kemudian, John Kerry boleh mengharapkan
kekecewaan yang akan disuarakan di sana, juga.
Palestin
kanan (Senior) telah berkata pelan Israel, diumumkan minggu lepas, untuk lebih
3,500 rumah peneroka di Tebing Barat yang diduduki adalah halangan utama kepada
kejayaan rundingan.
Kerry hears grim peace talks assessment from
Israel
A grim
picture of Middle East peace talks has been painted by the Israeli prime
minister as US Secretary of State John Kerry pursues shuttle diplomacy aimed at
securing a deal.
Benjamin
Netanyahu said negotiations with the Palestinians had failed to make real
progress and that he hoped Kerry, who is visiting Israel, could get them back
on track.
"I
am concerned about their progress because I see the Palestinians continuing
with incitement, continuing to create artificial crises, continuing to avoid
and run away from the historic decisions that are needed to make a genuine
peace," Netanyahu said.
Meeting
the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas later, John Kerry could expect
frustration to be voiced there, too.
Senior Palestinians have
said an Israeli plan, announced last week, for 3,500 more settler homes in the
occupied West Bank is a major obstacle to the success of the negotiations.
