Clinton Israel must “show their commitment” to peace process

Hillary Clinton, said United States and Israel is unbreakable ties yet, despite the friction arising from the issue of Jewish settlements. However, he noted that both Israel and the Palestinians must show their commitment to the peace process.

Last week, United States vice president, Joe Biden, has condemned an Israeli plan to build more houses in the settlements, the government announcement of Joe Biden as Benjamin Netanyahu visited the country.

The issue raised tensions in Jerusalem, where on Tuesday there were violent clashes between Palestin and the Israeli police.

The Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said that among nations always had disagreements and, in the case of Israel and the U.S. had already expressed their displeasure.

“We do not agree at all with any of our international partners. And with respect to the announcement that was made when Vice President Biden was there in Jerusalem we expressed our dismay and disappointment”.

Demands to Israel

The Middle East special envoy for the U.S. , George Mitchell, postponed his visit to the region Tuesday as part of the growing tensions between Washington and the government of Israel on Jewish settlements.

Mitchell had agreed a meeting with Israeli President Shimon Peres to discuss issues related to peace talks with the Palestinians.

Clinton said that Senator Mitchell would return to the region.

“We are committed to achieving a two state solution … That’s the goal. But I think we’ll see what happens in the coming days, and we are very interested in Senator Mitchell’s return to the region and the proximity talks begin .

The Noticiero correspondent in Jerusalem, Petter Sams, says the United States has expressed confidence that the indirect talks between Palestinians and Israelis are carried out.

However, before George Mitchell appears, United States wants to hear Israel’s formal response to a series of demands put to him last Friday.

Sign in these is the cancellation of plans to build 1.600 new homes in disputed territory in East Jerusalem.

For his part, Netanyahu has rejected the imposition of limits on the expansion of settlements, saying his government has every right to build in those areas.

Between a Rock and a Hard

The Noticiero correspondent says that Israeli Prime Minister is caught between a rock and a hard place.

If Netanyahu gives budge, would face the right wing of his government and his credibility would be questioned. But if they make concessions, it would be very hard to see how the peace talks, backed by U.S. power and prestige-can take place.

The lack of progress in negotiations is a factor that has ignited the feeling in the Palestinian villages, one is called by some officials that the people defending the Haram al-Sharif or Temple Mount.

On Tuesday, hundreds of them clashed with Israeli police in East Jerusalem in protest against the new Jewish settlements and the reopening of a synagogue.

Palestinians threw stones and burned tires in the mean time police responded with stun grenades as the disturbances spread to different parts.

“Day of Wrath”

Violence flared in several areas, including

Silwan, Wadi al-Juozas, al-Eisaweyah,Qalandia, Shu’fat refugee camp , Ras al-Amud and near the al-Aqsa mosque.

Israeli police reported that 3,000 troops had been deployed throughout the city to control the situation.

The reopening of the synagogue, which according Hurva was destroyed in the Israeli bombing of the Jordanian forces for more than six decades, has also inflamed tensions

The Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Tuesday a “day of rage” against the measure.

Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Fatah movement of President of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, declared: “The synagogue will be the prelude to violence and extremist religious fanaticism.”
