Credit: Reuters/Yin Dongxun/Pool By Jeffrey Heller JERUSALEM | Thu Sep 16, 2010 11:17am EDT JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ended on Thursday three days of talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders with no visible sign of progress on breaking a deadlock over building in West Bank settlements. In an ABC News interview, Clinton again gave voice to U.S. hopes that Israel would extend its partial construction moratorium past a September 30 expiration date. But Israel reaffirmed the 10-month freeze on housing starts in settlements in the occupied West Bank would end on schedule, and a Palestinian threat to walk out of the nascent negotiations if building resumed loomed over the U.S. peace effort. Officials close to the talks said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had rejected a proposal to extend the moratorium by three months. Wrapping up a round of negotiations that began in Egypt on Tuesday, Clinton held talks in Jordan with King Abdullah after meeting Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city Ramallah. "Today, his Majesty and I discussed ongoing negotiations and I expressed my confidence that Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas can make the difficult decisions necessary to resolve all of the core issues within one year," she told a news conference in Amman. Those issues include the borders of a Palestinians state and the future of settlements, Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees. Abbas's spokesman, however, made clear the Palestinians had not budged from their demand the moratorium continue on land Israel captured in a 1967 war, territory they want for a future state. "The president reiterated to Secretary Clinton the Palestinian position regarding the requirements for the continuation of the peace process, specifically the issue of freezing settlement construction and ending the occupation," said the spokesman, Nabil Abu Rdainah. COMPROMISE Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak told Israel's Channel 1 TV he had raised the idea with Netanyahu to keep the moratorium in place for another three months, hoping to buy time for negotiators to agree on the borders of a Palestinian state. Israel has said such a deal could entail a land swap under which it would keep major settlement blocs in the West Bank. Once frontier lines were agreed, Mubarak said in the interview, Israel could build within its future borders and Palestinians could do the same -- effectively resolving the moratorium issue and keeping the peace talks alive. Officials close to the talks said the United States, which launched the face-to-face negotiations in Washington on September 2 after a 20-month hiatus, had made a similar proposal. U.S. officials declined to comment. "We are working hard to make sure there remains a conducive atmosphere to constructive talks," Clinton said in the ABC interview in Jerusalem, noting that it took Netanyahu "a lot of political capital" to achieve the moratorium in the first place. In a statement, Netanyahu's bureau said he was standing by his position not to extend the moratorium. He has said, however, he intends to limit the scope of future settlement construction. The settlements are deemed by the World Court to be illegal, a finding disputed by Israel. Palestinians fear the enclaves will deny them a viable and contiguous country. Meeting in Brussels on Thursday, European leaders will call on Israel to extend the moratorium according to a draft of the summit conclusions seen by Reuters. U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell said Israeli and Palestinian negotiators would meet next week and set a new date for leaders to convene. As part of U.S. President Barack Obama's drive for a wider peace between Israel and the Arab world, Mitchell planned to travel to Syria on Thursday for talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and then to Lebanon to meet Lebanese leaders. In the Hamas-run Gaza Strip overnight, Israeli aircraft carried out three air strikes against suspected militant targets after rocket and mortar bomb attacks on Israel. No casualties were reported in the incidents.

In light of these actions and the imminent and final burial of the 2-state solution, I foresee a One State solution, however I fear the road leading there will be long, full of civil unrest, sanctions and boycotts against Israel, further isolating it. Let us all march towards One State, a much better deal for all extremists on both sides anyways. It is the only way now amandarogers Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 7:50am EDT The Israeli government cannot, technically, ‘reject’ the motion not to build further on Palestinian land. Such building is illegal under international law and is therefore a criminal act. Already Israeli has illegally established so-called ‘facts on the ground’ whereby hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been seduced by tax breaks and financial inducements to move to the West Bank in an illegitimate attempt to prevent a future Palestinian state. These actions and this agenda must be condemned outright by both the US and the EU. JRDKidd Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 7:50am EDT Israel has shown yet again that it cares more about a criminal and land thieving right wing government than peace. In light of these actions and the imminent and final burial of the 2-state solution, I foresee a One State solution, however I fear the road leading there will be long, full of civil unrest, sanctions and boycotts against Israel, further isolating it. Let us all march towards One State, a much better deal for all extremists on both sides anyways. It is the only way now amandarogers Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 7:58am EDT So Netanyahu says he can’t do another 3 months while the borders are sorted out. The intention seems pretty clear, keep negotiating and in the meantime grab some more, especially in East Jerusalem. Settle the border in Jerusalem and do it now else it’s time for Abbas to walk. todonada Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 9:06am EDT Negotiations can not continue in good faith while new settlements are under construction. If Israel fails to negotiate in good faith, we should leave them high and dry to fend for themselves; cut them off from economic and military aid. It’s to Israel’s advantage to continue building settlements, but in so many ways, we can’t afford to allow Israel’s continual desire for a bigger piece of the pie to continue to sabotage opportunities for peace. breezinthru Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 9:17am EDT For 10 months Abbas knew when the building would resume, and he spent 9 of them doing nothing. Now he is hoping to use the illusion of negotiations as an excuse to extend an unprecedented and illegal construction freeze. Abbas has sold the world a pig in a poke, there is no possible way that the Palestine he is negotiating will ever be a “viable and contiguous country”. Half of it is separated by Israel – Gaza is more than 100 km from the proposed Palestinian West Bank – so there goes the theory of a “contiguous country”, while Hamas refuses to allow him success so there goes the illusion of a “viable country.” The whole premise of these talks is one destine to fail. Eric.Klein Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 9:37am EDT Eric.Klein The main problem was that Netanyahu refused to resume negotiations where his predecessor left off. So it is not correct to say that Abbas was doing nothing, he was trying to continue the previous talks but Netanyahu changed the rules (and the rhetoric). Apart from that, the freeze was also not complete. todonada Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 9:38am EDT Come on, is this a surprise? boreal Report As Abusive Sep 16, 2010 11:49am EDT Excellent contributions, nice to read the comprehensive understanding that most of these comments have on the Palestinian/Israeli issue. The Israeli propaganda machine and control of the media is failing and their inhumane approach to the Palestinians, and the world at large, is becoming apparent to all who care. Not that enough people truly and really cares! The truth is that, if this was not a favored state in the U.S, as an instigator and purveyor of all that is bad and wicked in the Middle East, Israel would have been the most despised State on earth because of her unprecedented and unparalleled horrific approach to the Palestinian nation. Tell me, what other nation enjoys the privileges of split allegiance to a nation, in this case, the United States of America, as the Jews enjoy in this country, the U.S …serving two masters, of which Israel is the premier? Jews in the U.S do not volunteer for military services, but are mandated through their faith to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces by command, encouraged along by their families and synagogues! I’d say, Peace Now or choke on the land for heaven’s sake! And Reuters, please don’t keep taking my comments down. The opposing viewpoints enjoy unparalleled privileges on your Post, why not a dissenting viewpoint? Palestinians are people too and they deserve, more than any party to these conflicts, our support, however insignificant and faint. Similar censors of dissenting voices, silenced post WW1, lead to such catastrophic incident as the holocaust. I will just as much vehemently defend Israel if the circumstance were such. Thank you.
