Palestinian israeli negotiations

Palestinians strongly condemned Israel's announcement that it has approved the construction of a new settlement in the West Bank, saying that "Israel continues to destroy the prospects of peace."

The agreement is unusual in a time when representatives from both governments rarely meet, let alone sit at a table adorned with a small Israeli and Palestinian flag.

Samantha Powers says critically important for leaders to "reengage in efforts to achieve peace."

Hamas says PA security forces provided Israel with details about figures and houses not only from Hamas, but also Fatah and Islamic Jihad.

Abbas says Palestinians will resume their statehood bid at the United Nations Security Council “despite pressure we are facing.”

The former French president says it is not right to recognize a Palestinian state without negotiations and right after a terror attack.

Perhaps the time has come to stop being so defensive and uptight about the allure of the Diaspora and focus more on appreciating what we have, with all its imperfections.
