Israel has agreed to freeze construction in east Jerusalem's Ramat Shlomo for two years, the US State Department said Sunday, following the completion of the first round of indirect Middle East peace talks.

State Department spokesman Philip Crowley said both Israel and the Palestinians had taken some steps to create an atmosphere conducive to successful talks, including the Israeli pledge of no construction in the neighborhood. Ramat Shlomo was at the center of a storm between Jerusalem and Washington last month when the approval of some 1,600 housing units there was revealed during US Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Israel.

Maybe we can get a freeze, on the construction Mosque’s, near ground zero.

"At the start of the cabinet meeting, the prime minister stressed the government’s success in insisting that the Palestinians enter the negotiations without preconditions, and the need to quickly progress to direct talks."

Huh?

And what confidence building measures have the Palestinian Arabs taken? Nada, as usual. Terrorist Abbas was terrorist Arafat’s closest advisor for 30 years. The only difference is that he now wears Western suits.

Earlier this year US officials were upset when the Jerusalem municipality confirmed the approval of a construction project in Ramat Shlomo during a visit from US Vice-President Joe Biden. At the time, Israeli officials said the US anger was misplaced, because the declaration was simply **part of a long bureaucratic approval that would take years anyways.**

During the same visit, PA officials met to honor deceased female terrorist Dalal el-Mughrabi, who led the most bloody terrorist attack in Israel’s history.

So sayeth Arutz...

What happens to 1600 east is what happens to 1600 west. Hashem is not mocked.
