While Kerry Pushes Peace Talks, Israeli Leader Airs Criticism
(New York Times) Michael R. Gordon and Isabel Kershner - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel delivered a harsh assessment of his Palestinian counterpart and implicitly the prospect of a Middle East peace agreement as Secretary of State John Kerry arrived on Thursday to intensify his push for a "framework" accord that would define the principles of a comprehensive treaty. "There's growing doubt in Israel that the Palestinians are committed to peace," Netanyahu said. "In the six months since the start of peace negotiations, the Palestinian Authority continues its unabated incitement against the State of Israel."
