Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas left a two-day meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Paris last week fuming over Kerry’s proposals for a framework accord between Israel and the Palestinians, according to a Palestinian report.
The top American diplomat reportedly offered for Abbas to form a Palestinian capital in the neighborhood of Beit Hanina, not all of East Jerusalem, as the Palestinians have demanded.
Kerry also suggested that Israel keep 10 settlement blocs as part of any territorial exchange, according to Al Quds, the most widely read Palestinian daily, on Wednesday.
The Jordan Valley would not be part of a future Palestinian state, Palestinian sources told the paper, nor would there be an international force stationed there. And Kerry reportedly demanded that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people.

Lurch pisses everybody off!
Maybe kerry will throw his medals at abbas.
Indeed. Kerry has in fact, brought some degree of accord and unity between Israelis and Palestinians who both agree wholeheartedly that Kerry is an idiot.
He’s a uniter. The Israelis and the Palestinians now have something they can agree upon.
"Good job financing the Munich Atrocity.
What can we do together, now?"
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEZ
Kerry fails the “Global Test.”

From the equivalent of Saturday Night Live, but Israeli.
c’mon folks.
this is all kibuki theater.
Abbas has no authority to negotiate anything.
in the end, has has to get 100% of the
demands that are made by the ‘greater Arab world’.
Wait, they have been negotiating for nine months and this is as far as they have gotten...
Israel will NEVER give up Jerusalem.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Thanks Former Fetus.
someone had to be the definition of poseur
Y’know, having Kerry and Obama responsible for the nation’s foreign policy makes for a dangerous mix of stupidity and malignance...
This mess is NOT Israel's responsibility.
