Arab Side Expected Not to Accept Framework Agreement


(Israel Hayom) Mati Tuchfeld and Shlomo Cesana - In the closed forums in Jerusalem where details of the peace negotiations with the Palestinians are discussed, senior Israeli diplomatic officials said, "There is no connection between what is said in public about the progress of the negotiations and what is actually happening." "The negotiations are currently being carried out without papers or documents passing between the sides. This is because the Arabs are refusing to present written documents. The Americans are coming with prepared proposals, they read them and do not leave documents with either side. It is all done verbally. The Netanyahu government is cooperating with Kerry's initiative with the clear knowledge that the Arab side will not accept the agreement and ultimately [Israel] will not be required to make concessions or evacuate settlements."
