Times of Israel – Wide gaps make a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians impossible, former Palestinian negotiator Mohammed Ishtayeh said Wednesday, hours ahead of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s arrival in Israel for yet another round of talks aimed at moving negotiations forward.
Ishtayeh, a senior aide to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who quit the Palestinian negotiating team a month ago over Israeli settlement construction, said he believed US mediation was “unbalanced” in favor of Israel.
