The US-brokered peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority have reportedly reached an impasse due to an Israeli refusal to discuss land-swap and border issues, an Israeli newspaper reported Sunday.

According to an unnamed, senior foreign diplomat with knowledge of the discussions, during the latest round of talks, the Israeli team of Justice Minister Tzipi Livni and Netanyahu adviser Yitzhak Molcho made it clear to the Palestinians that Israel intends to keep some of the settlement blocs inside Israel as part of a final agreement, but refused to name which areas or discuss possible compensation to the Palestinians for the annexed territory, Maariv reported.

“All of the issues are on the table: territory, security, refugees, Jerusalem – all of the final status issues are on the table,” Kerry said, adding that “we are not seeking an interim agreement; we are seeking a final status agreement.”

'Final status' sounds a little to close to 'final solution'. Creepily demonic...

Just ride out 3 more years and Israel survives Valerie Jarrett and her puppet.

Bring in the Egyptians. Give the Palis Sinai. Since Egypt cannot satisfactorily manage it, putting a border around it and protecting that border would make sense.

Have the Arab world who so cares for the Palis pay the west to turn Sinai into a green mecca. Electric vehicles, efficient lightbulbs, no oil, gas or coal for power. Water can come from the sea and be desalinized.

Would take a couple of years to create but the Palis would have their own homeland where they can live in peace with their neighbors and grow as a nation.

Now, what can go wrong with that? /sarc

Just clicked on that link and wasn't able to view it.

‘State Department Refuses to Say Jerusalem is Israel's Capital’

Not kidding! The video of Nuland started to play, then the screen turned black and blank and said “An error occurred, please try again later.” Rather appropriate considering the topic.

These folks might want to stop and consider what the scriptures say about messing with Jerusalem (Psalm 48).
