U.S. Envoy: Low Hopes for Quartet Meeting
(UPI) Washington has low hopes that a high-level meeting Wednesday will restart the long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the U.S. ambassador to Israel said. But while prospects for an immediate breakthrough "are probably not very bright, that doesn't mean you can't make some progress, and set the groundwork for larger progress at some period of time," Daniel Shapiro told the Jerusalem Post ahead of the Washington meeting at Blair House of the Quartet on the Middle East, on the sidelines of a Group of Eight foreign ministers meeting.
