JPost – Just hours after Israel released 26 Palestinian terrorists in the middle of the night to crimp “victory” celebrations, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met in total secrecy Wednesday evening in Jerusalem for talks the US hopes will yield a peace accord in nine months.
“The talks resumed,” Justice Minister Tzipi Livni’s spokeswoman, Mia Bengel, wrote on a Twitter post at around 7 p.m. “No photo opp. No statements. Why? To allow the teams to work together, and not think about the media waiting outside.”
