Kerry's Offer: Release Prisoners and They'll Renew Talks(Israel-Palestine)
Arutz Sheva - Israel National News ^ | 3/24/2013, 3:26 AM

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry held talks with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Saturday evening, after earlier discussing ways to push a new peace plan with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, U.S. and Israeli sources said.

A radio report said Netanyahu and Kerry had a first round of private talks and were then joined by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni, Netanyahu's personal envoy Yitzhak Molcho and his national security adviser Yaakov Amidror.

Channel 10 News reported that Kerry is planning on offering Israel and the PA an outline which would see Israel releasing terrorists from its prisons and transferring areas from Area B, which is under joint PA-Israeli control under the Oslo Accords, to Area A which is under full PA control.

Kerry’s outline would have the PA undertaking a return to the negotiating table and promising not to file lawsuits against Israel with the International Criminal Court.

Earlier on Saturday, Kerry met Abbas in the Jordanian capital, reported AFP.

One unverified report in Israel on Saturday claimed that Obama and Netanyahu had reached an agreement on a “silent construction freeze,” in which Israel would not promote any new construction plans but would not officially announce that there is a freeze.

Any chance Kerry visits Gaza and doesn’t get a ride back? Just asking.

That’s difficult for the jihadists to do, considering they’ve never been in talks in the first place, merely been in the same room as the Israeli PM a few times. That’s it. Next time they meet face to face, Bibi and the rest of his delegation needs to produce sidearms and just gun down the Palestinian [sic] negotiators [sic]. Thanks haffast.

Correct, except for the “terrorists make promises”. They never agree to anything except to continue jihad.

To #5: “release prisoners, concede territory”.

Seems I heard this line before, say in 1972, 73, 74, 75 on Radio Hanoi to South Vietnam and by their supporters in the anti-Vietnam movement.

No. Vietnam only gave back several hundred So. Vietnamese soldiers and civilians after the 1973 so-called “Paris Peace Agreement” instead of the tens of thousands of kidnapped civilians and many ARVN POWs.

Seems Hanoi also forgot (on purpose), to give back all US POWS/MIAs as was stated in the “peace treaty”. Known POWS never came home and some known POWS who were in very good health came back in cigar boxes, like Lt. Ron Dodge.

Kerry, true to form, is still the same old appeasor he was back in the 1970’s. In this case, consistency is not a good thing for America.

Sheesh! I’m so relieved that JF’inKerry has come up with a really fresh, unique approach to the stalled ‘peace’ talks in the Middle East. (seriously...does this really need a sarc tag?)

Neither Hillary nor Jeb Bush is going to keep him on as Secretary of State.

Jeb Bush as the 2016 RNC nominee ?

Okey Dokey...

That’s why they met in private, to avoid John Kerry humiliating himself in public.
