Israeli Official: Kerry Disappointed in Abbas


(Israel Hayom) Mati Tuchfeld - Secretary of State John Kerry is disappointed in the conduct of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, a senior Israeli diplomatic official said on Sunday. He said that "most of the American pressure is directed at [Abbas] right now." "[Abbas] presented to Kerry three conditions for the renewal of negotiations: the complete cessation of construction in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank], the release of all security prisoners who were arrested before the Oslo Accords and that talks on borders be based on the 1967 lines," the Israeli official said. "All of these...are not acceptable to Netanyahu as conditions for the renewal of talks."
