My Way News - Israel premier fast-tracking peace referendum bill
My Way News reports: "Israel's premier announced Monday he is fast-tracking legislation that
would allow him to put any peace deal with the Palestinians to a
national referendum - an apparent attempt to silence hard-liners in his
party and coalition government. [...] Polls have suggested a majority of Israelis support the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, but many groups are vehemently opposed, including hard-liners among Israel's West Bank settlers. Some issues to be settled in a peace deal are particularly explosive, including a partition of Jerusalem, home to major religious shrines and claimed by both sides as a capital."
My Way News - Analysis: Resumption of Mideast talks not assured
My Way News reports: "Disagreements that blocked Israeli-Palestinian negotiations for the
past five years have not been fully resolved, despite U.S. Secretary of
State John Kerry's recent announcement of progress, and there's no clear
path to a resumption of talks."
