White House Adviser Axelrod: U.S. "Hopeful" on Proximity Talks Process
(Jerusalem Post) Hilary Leila Krieger - Even though Israel has yet to respond to U.S. demands for gestures to get the peace process moving, top White House adviser David Axelrod told the Jerusalem Post Wednesday he was optimistic about the prospects for progress. "We have an ongoing dialogue with Israel and I'm confident that we will move forward in a productive way," he said. "We have unbreakable bonds and we have a strategic alliance that's essential to both Israel and the United States, and that is an impetus for us to work through whatever disagreements that we have." He also said that the administration was "hopeful" about the proximity talk process taking off and leading to progress.
