U.S. Pushes Israel for Outreach to Palestinians
(Washington Post) Glenn Kessler - U.S. and Israeli officials struggled Wednesday to resolve a dispute over U.S. demands that Israel make goodwill gestures to lure Palestinians back to the negotiating table. Visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who held two hours of talks with President Obama on Tuesday, cleared his schedule Wednesday to undertake additional negotiations with senior U.S. officials, including special peace envoy George Mitchell and White House adviser Dennis Ross. U.S. and Israeli officials are working on a document dubbed "the blueprint," which covers all issues, including Jerusalem, that need to be resolved to let talks go forward.
