My Way News - Israeli, Palestinian leaders likely to meet soon
My Way News reports: "The Israeli and Palestinian leaders are likely to hold their first meeting in the coming weeks, both sides indicated Wednesday, in what would be an important step toward a formal resumption of peace talks and a signal achievement for President Barack Obama. [...] Israel and the U.S. have been hinting that they are close to an agreement that would allow the resumption of peace talks."

Mitchell, Netanyahu report 'good progress' in Mideast talks - csmonitor.com
The Christian Science Monitor reports: "... Mitchell, who has made five trips to the region and other visits to European and other capitals since his appointment in January, has made clear that securing a freeze on Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories will be key to restarting the stalled peace talks. As part of a triangular effort to bring Israelis and Palestinians back to the table, Mitchell has also pressed Arab states to commit to measures normalizing relations with Israel and to more vigorous financial support of Palestinians. [...] A deal would mean that Obama could announce a resumption of negotiations during the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York the week of Sept. 21..."

Comment: Another day brings more signs that solid progress in the Mideast peace process is being made behind the scenes. This could all be an illusion, of course, as solid progress means little in the context of the Middle East, where past agreements still remain unfulfilled.
