WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Israel is prepared to take additional steps to ease Palestinian movement in the West Bank in a bid to coax Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas into direct peace talks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday.
He sidestepped questions on ABC's "Good Morning America" about whether he was prepared to extend beyond September a 10-month moratorium on new housing starts in Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
One day after a fence-mending meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House, Netanyahu repeated a call for a restart of peace talks with Abbas. Face-to-face peace negotiations have been suspended since late 2008.
Palestinians have reacted cautiously to Netanyahu's promise of "concrete steps" within weeks to persuade them to hold direct talks.
Netanyahu said he was prepared to take steps including "additional easing of movements" and some economic projects.
"The point is, we are prepared to do them. But what we want to see finally is one thing: We want President Abbas to grasp my hand ... to shake it, sit down and negotiate a final settlement of peace between Israel and the Palestinians," he said.
Netanyahu was scheduled to meet U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and address U.S. Jewish leaders in New York on Wednesday.

Netanyahu is just playing ’silly buggers’, which he always does. He, of all previous Israeli PM’s, has no interest in a peace settlement. He is a hardliner. He would like to see the conflict continue. It provides the pretext for him to get even tougher, and any excuse usually works.
Why the US keeps being fooled by these KNOWN tactics, is beyond me.

Fool me once. shame on you; fool me multiple times… what am I, an idiot?
Whatever appears to have been promised by Netanyahu will simply evaporate in equivocation and redefinition in very short order. He got what he wanted, a moment in President Obama’s space. We got shafted again. And the peace process is still a transparent fiction.

This is all a stall tactic. Israel is never going to come to the peace table. The National hatred of Palestinian’s will never result in peace.
Israel will not rest until every Palestinian is dead.
It is time for the U.S. to cut it’s ties with Israel and demand they give up all their nukes. They can not be trusted with them.

The Islamic dictatorships do not actually want a Palestinian state. They want to keep nailing the Palestinians on the cross of the west so they can keep pointing the finger at the Israeli boogeyman to distract their peoples’ attention from their own crimes, so these Herods from Damascus to Tehran can remain in power. If Israel helps these stateless people to form their own country, Iran etc. no longer have any reason to support Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists. Maybe Israel is putting it off because they prefer the status quo over the unknown, because when the Islamic countries can no longer bargain with the Palestinians’ lives, all they have left is the threat of direct violence. Meanwhile, the Palestinians are crucified by poverty and powerlessness. Return to God – He will make all things new.

Shame on Israel for committing the crimes of century. We thought Hitler was bad look at Israel’s behavior: They have been murdering innocent people by hundreds. Why should US stick up for corrupted dictators in Israel? Netanyahu shame on you for ordering the killings of innocent Turks. Shame on Israel, you are no better than Hitler when it comes to killing and murders. I am ashamed of being Jewish.

The time has come for the UN or some other reputable international agency to conduct an inquiry into Hamas’ military forces use of indiscriminate rocket attacks on southern Israel. Those attacks and other Hamas infiltrations of Israel territory simply underscore the root of the problem; Hamas and its Iranian masters have one objective and that is the destruction of Israel.

Where do you people get your information eg: even-steven
Hitler massacered 6 million & more. Israel is a tiny state surrounded by enemies who want her destroyed.
As stated by one person with a brain, it’s in the best interest of the Arab countries to keep the Palistinians hostage. WHY won’t Hamas or Saudi Arabia & Iran recognize Israel’s right to exist? THAT’S THE QUESTION
Crime of the century? DARFUR!
