As Israel announces that 1,200 new homes will be built in
the occupied territories, it came to my mind that I have yet to meet a leader
in Western Europe that believes in the new round of peace talks John Kerry has
been pushing for. Everyone I talked to and every opinion I have read show that
in this part of world the current government of Israel is perceived as not
really interested in the talks. Moreover, there seems to be little patience
left to deal with Prime Minister Netanyahu.
And, by the way, people have forgotten that there is one Mr
Blair that is supposed to be doing something out there, as “Representative” of
the Quartet. If you mention is name, the reaction is: “Oh, dear! I thought he
had left”.
He might be the only European that does not give up the
Israel-Palestine business!
