International mediators in Mid-Eastern settlement meet in Moscow
Moscow is playing host to a meeting of the four international mediators in a Middle East settlement. Russian, US, UN and EU officials are discussing ways to unblock the Palestinian-Israeli crisis and ensure a resumption of the talks between the two parties to the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov thanked the parties to the “quartet”, namely UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the quartet’s special envoy to the Middle East Tony Blair and the EU High Representative Catherine Ashton for accepting the invitation to meet in Moscow, to take up the situation in the region. The parties are set to adopt a document that would sum up all previous agreements on the terms of direct talks between Israel and Palestine, and would also make it mandatory for the parties to the conflict to abide by it. The basic hindrance in the way of resuming the dialogue is the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The Palestinians will not hear of returning to the negotiating table until an end is put to the construction effort. But Israel defies pressure from the United States and says it could only discuss a partial and provisional moratorium.
