Freeze On Jewish Settlements Expires, Are Peace Talks In Jeopardy?
Israel did not extend its moratorium on Jewish settlement construction on the West Bank as of the midnight deadline, putting Arab-Israeli peace negotiations at risk. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas will delay his decision for a week whether or not to quit peace talks in order for the U.S. to step in and work out a compromise. Larry talks with the Honorable Jacob Dayan and Hussein Ibish about settlements and the impact on peace talks.
