(Tel Aviv) – US Secretary of State holds marathon talks with Israeli and Palestinian officials to drive the peace negotiations forward. Israel and the Palestinians are closer to a peace deal than they have been in years, US Secretary of State John Kerry said wrapping up his latest visit.
His remarks were made after a day-and-a-half of talks with Israeli and Palestinian officials aimed at driving forward the direct negotiations which began in late July but have made little apparent progress as they approach the halfway point.
