Another Round of Israeli-Palestinian Peace Talks

Surely this time around something will be accomplished. Reuters

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli and Palestinian negotiators held undisclosed peace talks after a deadly Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip led to their brief suspension and will meet again on Monday, Israeli officials said.

....

An Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Livni and Qurie met secretly about 10 days ago but that session was not publicly disclosed.

Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat declined to comment.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas temporarily suspended the negotiations earlier this month after an Israeli offensive in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip killed more than 120 Palestinians, many of them civilians.

Israel said the incursion was meant to counter cross-border rocket fire by militants.

The article fails to mention that the rockets were fired indiscriminately into Israel killing and injuring civilians exclusively. And that Hamas hides behind civilians when fighting Israel, hoping civilians will be caught in the cross-fire.
