Kerry, Saeb Erekat to meet in Washington

US Secretary of State John Kerry is slated to meet Palestinian chief negotiator Saeb Erekat at the State Department on Monday.

At a press briefing in Washington on Friday, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said a Palestinian delegation would arrive at the US capital for high-level talks on ways to move forward with the stalled peace talks and the ongoing crisis in Gaza.


The meeting will also focus on the uptick in violence in Jerusalem, following rising tensions and a number of deaths in the city, which has for weeks been the scene of daily clashes between security forces and Palestinians.

  1. Report: US to present plan for resumption of Israeli-Palestinian talks ...

    The US administration is planning to present a proposal to resume the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians after the mid-term elections for Congress, the Palestinian daily Al-Quds reported over the weekend.

    The report came as State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki announced that a Palestinian delegation would arrive in Washington for high-level talks on ways to move forward with the stalled peace talks and the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip.

    The delegation, headed by chief PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat, is expected to meet with US Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday.

    The two sides are also scheduled to discuss ways of ending the recent upsurge in violence in east Jerusalem, a Palestinian Authority official said.

  2. Jérusalem: Abdallah II de Jordanie promet de protéger les lieux saints...

    Le roi Abdallah II de Jordanie a promis dimanche que son pays ferait tout pour protéger les lieux saints musulmans et chrétiens de Jérusalem, au moment où l'Esplanade des Mosquées est l'épicentre de tensions.

    La Jordanie, qui a conservé la gestion de l'Esplanade, troisième lieu saint de l'islam, au moment de l'annexion et de l'occupation de Jérusalem-Est en 1967, "continuera à s'opposer, avec tous les moyens dont elle dispose, aux décisions politiques unilatérales d'Israël à Jérusalem, et à protéger les lieux saints musulmans et chrétiens jusqu'à ce que la paix revienne", a déclaré le souverain dans un discours devant le Parlement.

    L'Esplanade qui surplombe la Vieille ville est récemment devenue l'objet de toutes les tensions. Les Palestiniens dénoncent les visites de plus en plus fréquentes de juifs sur le site comme des provocations, tandis que la frange ultra-nationaliste et religieuse israélienne multiplient les appels à autoriser les juifs à prier sur l'Esplanade, également sacrée dans le judaïsme................http://www.rtl.be/info/monde/international/1138202/jerusalem-abdallah-ii-de-jordanie-promet-de-proteger-les-lieux-saints
