Israelis Say Deal Near with U.S. on Mideast Talks
[Reuters] Allyn Fisher-Ilan - President Obama's Middle East envoy is close to a deal with Israel on terms for resuming peace talks with the Palestinians, Israeli officials said on Wednesday. "There appears to be a meeting of the minds and hopefully the Israeli-Palestinian dialogue will be able to re-start in the near future," an Israeli official said, summing up talks held by Israeli negotiators in Washington. Under the prospective deal, the negotiations could be held on the basis of two decades-old UN Security Council resolutions, 242 and 338, another official said.
