No Breakthrough Expected During Quartet Visit
(Ynet News) Attila Somfalvi - The four Quartet members are to meet in Israel on Wednesday with Israeli and Palestinian representatives, but officials involved in the negotiations say they are not optimistic about the prospect of jumpstarting the peace process. An official in the Prime Minister's Office said, "This meeting is not expected to result in a breakthrough." Another Israeli source involved in the negotiations noted that "at the moment everything is stuck. Israel is not planning on offering (Palestinian President) Abbas any gestures. If the Palestinians want to return to the negotiations table, they are welcome to do so without preconditions."
