Israeli Ministers Told Not To Meet Palestinian Counterparts -- Bloomberg Businessweek
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered cabinet ministers to stop meeting with their Palestinian counterparts, a government official said, hours after the U.S. blamed Israel for the breakdown of peace talks.
Israeli government officials have been told to refrain from meeting their Palestinian counterparts because the Palestinians violated commitments made under the peace talks, the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss diplomacy for the record.
Yesterday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry charged that the announcement of 708 new Jewish homes in east Jerusalem derailed eight months of Mideast peace talks. Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he said the sides were closer to resolving differences over a delayed Israeli release of Palestinian prisoners when “700 settlement units were announced in Jerusalem and, poof, that was sort of the moment.”

Now that it is clear to everyone that Abbas does not want peace, we must ask: What do we do now?
The truth is there is no magic solution, and we'll all have to learn to live with the conflict and manage it.

I believe that Israel should set a goal: Apply Israeli law to the Israeli settlements and territories in Judea and Samaria, while providing an independent administrative authority for the Arabs in the PA territory.
Two years ago we launched our Stability Initiative program, which becomes more relevant by the day.
**
Even though we are only 12 seats in a coalition of 67, we need to push and push towards our goal.
