(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged EU's ambassadors in Israel on Tuesday to disabuse the Palestinians of the notion that the international community will "deliver Israel," saying this Palestinian hope has led to 10 "wasted" months. "It is up to you to urge the Palestinian Authority to begin talks," he said. "We are pretty close, but a nudge from you can make it happen."

But ultimately, all the critical issues will have to be decided in direct negotiations, he said.
