Hillary Clinton: Mideast Peace Talks Back On (HuffPo 4/30/10)

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday that the Mideast peace process will get back on track next week, though not the U.S.-brokered direct talks involving Israeli and Palestinians that the Obama administration wants to see.

George Mitchell, the special U.S. envoy to the Mideast, will mediate the discussions when he travels to the region. His visit will follow a weekend meeting of Arab League diplomats. Mitchell is expected to leave on Sunday and spend the week holding discussions with Israelis and Palestinians, U.S. officials said.

For now, it's indirect talks, with Mitchell and aides meeting with one side at a time, then shuttling to the other. There aren't any negotiations planned with Israelis and Palestinians at the same table.

"Ultimately, we want to see the parties in direct negotiations and working out all the difficult issues that they must," Clinton told reporters after meeting with Kuwait's foreign minister, Mohammad Sabah al-Salem al Sabah.

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said his side was making "every possible effort to begin these talks." A final decision, he said, would come from Arab foreign ministers and the Palestinian Liberation Organization's leadership.

Israeli government officials had no immediate reaction to Clinton's announcement.

"The Middle East will never realize its full potential, Israel will never be truly secure, the Palestinians will never have their legitimate aspiration for a state unless we create the circumstances in which positive negotiations can occur," Clinton said.

The Israeli/Palestinian issue is bound to be one of the toughest Hillary will be called upon to deal with. If anyone can bring about some progress, she can.

I hope so! But she really doesn't have much support from any of the key players. Bibi is going to do whatever the hell he wants, the Palestinians are led by Hamas, and Obama is Obama.
