John Kerry

It is fascinating how the writer puts together the pieces of President Obama's and Kerry's actions. The most interesting idea is that they are trying to get the Israeli and (likely) the Palestinian people to push their governments to peace. It is interesting that they seem to have had at least some success stopping at least some things that would have made things worse - ie Turkey and Israel not speaking and the Turkish leader going to Gaza.

In LBN, there is an article titled Israel rejects Kerry's proposals. That is the title so it is the correct subject line - even though the article does not live up to the title. In fact, it more likely as this op's article says in linking to it, the reaction of the far right of Netanyahu's coalition trying to derail it because they are against giving any land.

If Kerry can do anything that makes life better for the Palestinians - even if it falls short of peace, it will be an incredible accomplishment and needed.
