Israel: No Dramatic U.S. Intervention Needed in Peace Talks
[Reuters] Claudia Parsons - Israel's chief negotiator with the Palestinians said on Thursday Israel did not need any "dramatic" intervention in the peace process from U.S. President-elect Obama when he takes office in January. Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told Jewish leaders in New York the international community should limit itself to backing the talks according to parameters set out at a peace conference in Annapolis nearly a year ago. Livni said she had told a meeting of the Quartet last weekend in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt: "We don't ask you to intervene. Please, this is bilateral. We don't want you to try to bridge gaps between us. Don't put new ideas on the table....We know what we are doing, we are responsible enough."
