Israel 'willfully sabotaging' peace talks, PLO official tells J Street
[Ynet] Palestinian political leader Hanan Ashrawi meets with J Street delegation in Ramallah. Israel is "willfully sabotaging" US Secretary of State John Kerry's peace efforts, a top Palestinian official told a J Street delegation in Ramallah on Wednesday, Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported.

The self-described "pro-Israel, pro-peace" J Street delegation was led by founder Jeremy Ben-Ami and they met with Palestinian political leader Hanan Ashrawi.

"Israel is willfully sabotaging US Secretary of State, John Kerry's efforts and using the negotiations as a cover to continue with its illegal settlement activities, particularly in and around Jerusalem, and the theft of Palestinian lands and resources, among other violations," Ashrawi was quoted as saying.

Ashrawi briefed the delegation on the ongoing peace negotiations, as well as "Israel's violations of international law and their impact on prospects for peace and on the region."

She urged the Jewish-American delegation to help influence both the US administration and the Israeli government. "For there to be peace and stability, we must move rapidly," Ashrawi was quoted as saying.
Standard default, blame the Jooos. When you've finished with that, do it again, again, and again.
