In Mideast, Kerry Tries to Nudge Peace Talks Along
(New York Times) Mark Landler and Jodi Rudoren - With Middle East peace negotiations showing signs of lapsing into an all-too-familiar paralysis, Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Jerusalem Tuesday for a flurry of meetings to reinvigorate the three-month-old round of talks. "He is trying to give a push," said a senior American official, adding that the talks were bogging down. On Monday, Kerry denied reports that the U.S. was working on its own plan for a Palestinian state, based on the borders before the 1967 war, to present in January if there is no breakthrough in the talks by then.
