US President Barack Obama is expected to invite Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for direct talks in Washington in early September, the New York Times announced Friday.
The NYTimes quotes diplomatic sources and says that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is expected to make an announcement on the matter later Friday.
This news comes after months of relative lack of involvement on the American side regarding the Middle East peace process and a marked cooling toward Israel.
Just a few hours ago, Novinite.com (Sofia News Agency) quoted Israeli ambassador to Bulgaria Noah Gal Gendler, who considers Bulgaria "a very good place for direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations."
Last week Israeli President Shimon Peres was on an official visit to Bulgaria, during which he declared that direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations should be expected shortly, and described Bulgaria as “the most suitable” place to hold such talks. Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov did not give a definite answer to that proposal.
Friday the New York Times writes that Abbas and Netanyahu have set a one-year limit of the talks, which have to settle first and foremost the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
Other issues include the status of Jerusalem, the security of Israel and the fate of Palestinian refugees.
It is unclear whether Hamas, which controls the Gaza strip, and is listed in many Western countries as a terrorist organization, will take part in the negotiations.
