U.S. OFFICIALS ARE ALREADY IN ISRAEL FOR PRE-NEGOTIATIONS
AUG 30 2010
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is meeting with advisers to
select members of Israel's delegation for direct peace talks with PA in
Washington; lawyer Yitzhak Molcho to head team.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday evening began forming Israel's
negotiating team for the direct peace negotiations set to commence next week
in Washington, the Prime Minister's Office announced.
Netanyahu will assemble a small negotiating team that will be under his direct
supervision, in order to allow for thorough, serious and
speedy talks.
Netanyahu was expected to meet with advisers Yitzhak Molcho, Ron Dermer, and
Uzi Arad, among others, in order to pick who will be part of the delegation
that will travel to Washington, where direct peace talks with the Palestinian
Authority are set to start on September 2.
Molcho will head the negotiating team, which is to include representatives
from various government ministries.
The Foreign Ministry's representative will be the diplomat Yaakov Hadas.
The Prime Minister's Office has asked that the Defense Ministry's
representatives in Washington help coordinate and plan the logistics of
Netanyahu trip due to the strike of the Foreign Ministry's workers' committee.
Channel 10 reported on Thursday that senior U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross has
arrived in Israel in order to find a solution of the settlement freeze issue,
ahead of the opening of direct peace talks.
A 10-month freeze in settlement construction declared by Netanyahu last
November is set to expire on September 26. Palestinian officials have said
that renewed settlement construction would cause them to pull out of the new
peace talks.
Ross' reported visit comes as two other American officials - Daniel Shapiro, a
top National Security Council staffer handling Israel and neighboring
countries, and David Hale, deputy to special Mideast
envoy George Mitchell - are in Israel handling
preliminary negotiations in the run-up to the talks next week in
Washington.
