The peace talks began Sunday a day after the Palestine Liberation Organization executive committee approved the talks for four months. They are the first peace talks between the Israelis and Palestinians in 18 months.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking Sunday at the start of the weekly Cabinet meeting, welcomed the PA’s decision to begin the talks. He said the talks were taking place without preconditions, as the Israelis had insisted on during the past year, and that they must “quickly lead to direct talks.”
“Peace cannot be made from a distance or by remote control, especially given that we and the Palestinians are neighbors,” Netanyahu said.
The Obama administration reportedly told P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas that it will not present a U.S. peace plan until the two sides begin direct peace talks.
