US Middle East envoy George Mitchell and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu say talks about reviving the regional peace process have made "good progress".

There was no mention of Israel agreeing to halt settlement construction, a key demand the US has made of its ally.

Mr Netanyahu has previously rejected such a freeze, saying "natural growth" of settlements must be allowed.


Its the talks with the Arab's thats the real problem as they will not agree with the Israeli nor the US points of views or offers. I can't see peace is in the air. has any one got a magic wand?

There is no magic wand for the region.  All interested parties need to get involved.  Until we have peace in the Middle East, we will not have peace in the world.

There seems to be a crack in the wall. Some Arab States such as Bahrain are looking forward to developing relationships with Israel. We will see.
